A. S. Yen spends much of his time researching Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Gale crater, Mineralogy and Diagenesis.
A. S. Yen interconnects Aeolian processes and Impact crater in the investigation of issues within Mars Exploration Program.
His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil water and Hydrothermal circulation.
His research investigates the connection between Mineralogy and topics such as Basalt that intersect with issues in Sedimentology and Igneous rock.
His study in Diagenesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stratigraphic unit and Pyroxene.
In his research on the topic of Hematite, Meridiani Planum and Mafic is strongly related with Jarosite.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Mineralogy of an ancient lacustrine mudstone succession from the Murray formation, Gale crater, Mars (137 citations)
- Evolved gas analyses of sedimentary rocks and eolian sediment in Gale Crater, Mars: Results of the Curiosity rover's sample analysis at Mars instrument from Yellowknife Bay to the Namib Dune (84 citations)
- Multiple stages of aqueous alteration along fractures in mudstone and sandstone strata in Gale Crater, Mars (82 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Mineral
