Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Basalt
  • Statistics

Benjamin P. Weiss focuses on Astrobiology, Meteorite, Planetesimal, Paleomagnetism and Mineralogy. In his study, Mantle and Magnetic field of the Moon is strongly linked to Crust, which falls under the umbrella field of Astrobiology. Meteorite connects with themes related to Planet in his study.

His Planetesimal research incorporates themes from Formation and evolution of the Solar System, Chondrule, Chondrite, Parent body and Asteroid. His Paleomagnetism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Natural remanent magnetization, Basalt and Pole shift hypothesis. His Mineralogy research includes themes of Magnetite and Magnetosome.

His most cited work include:

  • The Constitution and Structure of the Lunar Interior (324 citations)
  • Chondrites as samples of differentiated planetesimals (185 citations)
  • A low temperature transfer of ALH84001 from Mars to Earth. (179 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrobiology, Paleomagnetism, Meteorite, Geophysics and Dynamo. His Paleomagnetism study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geochemistry, Basalt and Impact crater. His work carried out in the field of Meteorite brings together such families of science as Planet, Mineralogy and Crust.

His research integrates issues of Magnetite and Magnetosome in his study of Mineralogy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Natural remanent magnetization, Magnetization, Demagnetizing field and Magnetism in addition to Geophysics. His work deals with themes such as Chondrite and Parent body, which intersect with Planetesimal.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (32.54%)
  • Paleomagnetism (24.85%)
  • Meteorite (15.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Astrobiology (32.54%)
  • Paleomagnetism (24.85%)
  • Meteorite (15.68%)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrobiology, Paleomagnetism, Meteorite, Dynamo and Magnetometer. His Astrobiology and Solar System and Asteroid investigations all form part of his Astrobiology research activities. His Paleomagnetism research includes elements of Rodinia, Geochemistry, Zircon and Astronomy.

His research in Meteorite intersects with topics in Planetesimal, Raw data, Mineralogy and Geophysics. His Geophysics study combines topics in areas such as Metre, Magnetization and Meteoroid. His research in Dynamo focuses on subjects like Paleointensity, which are connected to Controlled atmosphere, Thermal and Crust.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The potential science and engineering value of samples delivered to Earth by Mars sample return : International MSR Objectives and Samples Team (iMOST) (18 citations)
  • The potential science and engineering value of samples delivered to Earth by Mars sample return (16 citations)
  • Secondary magnetite in ancient zircon precludes analysis of a Hadean geodynamo. (15 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Basalt
  • Statistics

Benjamin P. Weiss mainly investigates Paleomagnetism, Chondrite, Meteorite, Planetesimal and Astronomy. Benjamin P. Weiss has included themes like Ophiolite and Crust in his Paleomagnetism study. Chondrite is a subfield of Astrobiology that Benjamin P. Weiss investigates.

The concepts of his Astrobiology study are interwoven with issues in Volcano, Basalt and Terrestrial planet. His studies deal with areas such as Matrix and Geophysics as well as Meteorite. He combines subjects such as Magnetic measurements, Paleointensity and Dynamo with his study of Astronomy.
