Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Meteorology
  • Jupiter

His main research concerns Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Impact crater, Diviner and Jupiter. His work in the fields of Astrobiology, such as Planetary science and Solar System, intersects with other areas such as Environmental science and Water activity. His study looks at the relationship between Mars Exploration Program and topics such as Sedimentary rock, which overlap with Erosion.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Thermal and Regolith in addition to Diviner. His Jupiter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Natural satellite and Thunderstorm. The various areas that Ashwin R. Vasavada examines in his Jovian study include Atmosphere, Atmospheric sciences, Forcing and Vortex.

His most cited work include:

  • A habitable fluvio-lacustrine environment at Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (499 citations)
  • Mars Science Laboratory Mission and Science Investigation (436 citations)
  • Cassini imaging of Jupiter's atmosphere, satellites, and rings. (387 citations)

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

Ashwin R. Vasavada mainly focuses on Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Atmospheric sciences, Jupiter and Gale crater. His Mars Exploration Program research integrates issues from Geochemistry and Geophysics. Ashwin R. Vasavada combines subjects such as Spacecraft and Diviner with his study of Astrobiology.

His research on Diviner also deals with topics like

  • Regolith and related Radiometer and Impact crater,
  • Thermal which is related to area like Mineralogy. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Storm, Atmosphere, Meteorology and Convection. His Gale crater research incorporates themes from Outcrop and Paleontology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (44.02%)
  • Astrobiology (29.19%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (19.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (44.02%)
  • Gale crater (14.83%)
  • Geochemistry (13.40%)

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

His primary areas of study are Mars Exploration Program, Gale crater, Geochemistry, Sedimentary rock and Astrobiology. Ashwin R. Vasavada integrates many fields, such as Mars Exploration Program and Methane, in his works. His Gale crater study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Planetary Data System, Aeronautics and Structural basin.

As part of his studies on Geochemistry, Ashwin R. Vasavada frequently links adjacent subjects like Impact crater. He has researched Sedimentary rock in several fields, including Martian, Sedimentology, Eolian sediments and Earth. His research brings together the fields of Atmosphere and Astrobiology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Background levels of methane in Mars' atmosphere show strong seasonal variations (102 citations)
  • Ancient Martian aeolian processes and palaeomorphology reconstructed from the Stimson formation on the lower slope of Aeolis Mons, Gale crater, Mars (84 citations)
  • Clay mineral diversity and abundance in sedimentary rocks of Gale crater, Mars (68 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Meteorology
  • Solar System

Ashwin R. Vasavada mostly deals with Mars Exploration Program, Aeolian processes, Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry and Gale crater. Ashwin R. Vasavada specializes in Mars Exploration Program, namely Curiosity rover. His work carried out in the field of Aeolian processes brings together such families of science as Infiltration, Weathering, Clay minerals and Cycling.

His study in Sedimentary rock is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Martian, Outcrop and Sedimentology. His Gale crater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Planetary Data System, Aeronautics, Subaerial and Facies. His research integrates issues of Atmosphere of Mars and Atmospheric sciences in his study of Storm.
