Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Jupiter

Alfred S. McEwen mostly deals with Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Impact crater, Martian and Orbiter. His Mars Exploration Program research incorporates themes from Bedrock, Geomorphology, Geochemistry and Earth science. Alfred S. McEwen has researched Astrobiology in several fields, including Aeolian processes, Jupiter, Albedo, Astronomy and Volcanism.

His research integrates issues of Crater counting, Geophysics, Basalt, Mineralogy and Regolith in his study of Impact crater. In his study, Meteoroid, Water vapor and Ice sheet is strongly linked to Middle latitudes, which falls under the umbrella field of Martian. His studies deal with areas such as Exploration of Mars, Paleontology, Planet, Field of view and Remote sensing as well as Orbiter.

His most cited work include:

  • Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) (1011 citations)
  • Cassini Observes the Active South Pole of Enceladus (827 citations)
  • Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Instrument Overview (490 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Alfred S. McEwen mainly investigates Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Impact crater, Martian and Remote sensing. His work in the fields of Astrobiology, such as Titan, overlaps with other areas such as Environmental science. His work deals with themes such as Orbiter, Aeolian processes, Geomorphology and Earth science, which intersect with Mars Exploration Program.

His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bedrock, Geochemistry, Geophysics and Regolith. His Remote sensing study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Pixel. His Volcano study combines topics in areas such as Astronomy, Plume and Jupiter.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (35.45%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (34.35%)
  • Impact crater (21.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (34.35%)
  • Astrobiology (35.45%)
  • Impact crater (21.39%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alfred S. McEwen spends much of his time researching Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Impact crater, Martian and Remote sensing. His Mars Exploration Program study which covers Aeolian processes that intersects with Dust devil. His research in Astrobiology intersects with topics in Atmosphere and Planet.

He interconnects Concentric and Geophysics in the investigation of issues within Impact crater. His work on Middle latitudes expands to the thematically related Martian. His Remote sensing study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pixel, Orbiter, Surface and Trace gas.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Exposed subsurface ice sheets in the Martian mid-latitudes. (107 citations)
  • The NASA Roadmap to Ocean Worlds (63 citations)
  • Granular flows at recurring slope lineae on Mars indicate a limited role for liquid water (57 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Jupiter

Alfred S. McEwen mainly focuses on Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Impact crater, Martian and Geomorphology. The concepts of his Mars Exploration Program study are interwoven with issues in Geochemistry, Atmosphere, Aeolian processes and Remote sensing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Planet and Earth science in addition to Astrobiology.

His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Viewshed analysis, Orbiter, Mineralogy, Petrology and Regolith. Alfred S. McEwen focuses mostly in the field of Martian, narrowing it down to topics relating to Atmospheric sciences and, in certain cases, Saltation and Martian surface. His Geomorphology research incorporates elements of Elevation, Data flow model, Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter and Mola.
