Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Infrared

Her primary areas of investigation include Mineralogy, Regolith, Astrobiology, Silicate and Longitude. Her studies in Mineralogy integrate themes in fields like Martian, Mars Exploration Program, Meteorite, Basalt and Analytical chemistry. Her Analytical chemistry research includes themes of Enstatite and Impact crater.

Her research integrates issues of Spectral line, Planetary science and Exosphere in her study of Regolith. As part of her studies on Astrobiology, Ann L. Sprague often connects relevant areas like Planet. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spectroscopy and Spectrograph.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Major-Element Composition of Mercury’s Surface from MESSENGER X-ray Spectrometry (286 citations)
  • Concentration of H, Si, Cl, K, Fe, and Th in the low- and mid-latitude regions of Mars (192 citations)
  • Radioactive Elements on Mercury’s Surface from MESSENGER: Implications for the Planet’s Formation and Evolution (165 citations)

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

Astrobiology, Exosphere, Environmental science, Analytical chemistry and Mineralogy are her primary areas of study. Ann L. Sprague has included themes like Spacecraft, Planet and Solar wind in her Astrobiology study. In general Exosphere, her work in Atmosphere of Mercury is often linked to Magnesium linking many areas of study.

As a member of one scientific family, Ann L. Sprague mostly works in the field of Analytical chemistry, focusing on Spectral line and, on occasion, Wavelength, Astrophysics and Spectroscopy. Her work investigates the relationship between Mineralogy and topics such as Regolith that intersect with problems in Planetary science. While the research belongs to areas of Atmospheric sciences, Ann L. Sprague spends her time largely on the problem of Mars Exploration Program, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Latitude.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (29.39%)
  • Exosphere (26.53%)
  • Environmental science (19.18%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2008-2014)?

  • Exosphere (26.53%)
  • Astrobiology (29.39%)
  • Analytical chemistry (17.55%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Exosphere, Astrobiology, Analytical chemistry, Spectrometer and Planet. When carried out as part of a general Exosphere research project, her work on Atmosphere of Mercury is frequently linked to work in Magnesium, Environmental science and Calcium, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Her research in Astrobiology focuses on subjects like Magnetosphere, which are connected to Atomic physics.

Her study on Analytical chemistry also encompasses disciplines like

  • Reflectivity together with Mineralogy,
  • Ultraviolet which is related to area like Near-infrared spectroscopy,
  • Spectral line which connect with Opacity, Emissivity, Wavelength and Astrophysics. The Mineralogy study combines topics in areas such as Planetary science and Regolith. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spectroscopy, Gamma spectroscopy and Latitude.

Between 2008 and 2014, her most popular works were:

  • The Major-Element Composition of Mercury’s Surface from MESSENGER X-ray Spectrometry (286 citations)
  • Radioactive Elements on Mercury’s Surface from MESSENGER: Implications for the Planet’s Formation and Evolution (165 citations)
  • Major-Element Abundances on the Surface of Mercury: Results from the MESSENGER Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (150 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Infrared

Ann L. Sprague mainly focuses on Exosphere, Planet, Astrobiology, Analytical chemistry and Planetary science. Ann L. Sprague interconnects Spectroscopy and Photoionization in the investigation of issues within Exosphere. Her Astrobiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Magnetosphere and Atmosphere of Mercury.

Her Analytical chemistry research incorporates themes from Enstatite, Spectrometer, Optics and Silicate. She has researched Planetary science in several fields, including Mineralogy and Regolith. The various areas that Ann L. Sprague examines in her Mineralogy study include Basalt and Reflectivity.
