Riley McGlasson's work spans planetary science topics including radar and lightcurve studies of near-Earth asteroids (shape and pole modeling), Martian polar ice deposits and climate history, and solar physics (mechanisms of coronal jets). This suggests a research profile that combines observational planetary astronomy with geologic mapping and solar physics methods, often using data from radar facilities like Arecibo and Goldstone alongside spacecraft imaging.
