Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Basalt

Carle M. Pieters mainly investigates Mineralogy, Astrobiology, Impact crater, Asteroid and Materials science. His Mineralogy study incorporates themes from Spectral line, Space weathering, Soil water and Absorption. His work deals with themes such as Pyroxene and Analytical chemistry, which intersect with Spectral line.

His research investigates the link between Astrobiology and topics such as Silicate that cross with problems in Lunar water, Latitude, Atmosphere of the Moon and Extraterrestrial Environment. His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geochemistry, Basalt, Mafic and Anorthosite. The Asteroid study combines topics in areas such as Solar System and Chondrite.

His most cited work include:

  • Space weathering on airless bodies: Resolving a mystery with lunar samples (445 citations)
  • Character and Spatial Distribution of OH/H2O on the Surface of the Moon Seen by M3 on Chandrayaan-1 (429 citations)
  • Deconvolution of mineral absorption bands: An improved approach (331 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrobiology, Mineralogy, Impact crater, Geochemistry and Remote sensing. Astrobiology is closely attributed to Astronomy in his work. His Mineralogy research includes themes of Spectral line and Space weathering.

His Impact crater study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geophysics, Crust, Basalt, Geology of the Moon and Quadrangle. Carle M. Pieters combines subjects such as Structural basin and Plagioclase, Anorthosite with his study of Geochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Image resolution and Reflectivity in addition to Remote sensing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (29.34%)
