Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Hydrogen
  • Atmosphere of Earth

His primary areas of study are Environmental science, Stratosphere, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology and Astrobiology. His work carried out in the field of Stratosphere brings together such families of science as Ozone and Atmospheric chemistry. Atmospheric sciences is closely attributed to Climatology in his work.

The Meteorology study which covers Occultation that intersects with Trace gas, Jet propulsion and Analytical chemistry. His study in Mars Exploration Program, Sample Analysis at Mars and Atmosphere of Mars are all subfields of Astrobiology. His research in Atmosphere of Mars focuses on subjects like Spectrometer, which are connected to Absorption, Infrared, Atmosphere of Earth, Far-infrared laser and Infrared spectroscopy.

His most cited work include:

  • Volatile, Isotope, and Organic Analysis of Martian Fines with the Mars Curiosity Rover (293 citations)
  • Mars methane detection and variability at Gale crater (274 citations)
  • Abundance and Isotopic Composition of Gases in the Martian Atmosphere from the Curiosity Rover (239 citations)

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

Christopher R. Webster focuses on Environmental science, Stratosphere, Atmospheric sciences, Astrobiology and Mars Exploration Program. His Stratosphere research includes elements of Troposphere, Ozone, Mixing ratio and Analytical chemistry. In Atmospheric sciences, Christopher R. Webster works on issues like Climatology, which are connected to Altitude.

Christopher R. Webster has researched Astrobiology in several fields, including Atmosphere, Atmospheric methane and Sprite. His studies in Mars Exploration Program integrate themes in fields like Spectrometer, Optics and Tunable laser. His Remote sensing research incorporates themes from Spectroscopy and Laser.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental science (35.51%)
  • Stratosphere (33.33%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (31.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Astrobiology (28.99%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (26.09%)
  • Environmental science (35.51%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Environmental science, Gale crater and Atmospheric sciences. Christopher R. Webster focuses mostly in the field of Astrobiology, narrowing it down to matters related to Astrophysics and, in some cases, Ozone. His work in the fields of Mars Exploration Program, such as Sample Analysis at Mars, intersects with other areas such as Flux.

His work deals with themes such as Infrared, Spectral line, Isotopologue, Martian surface and Analytical chemistry, which intersect with Sample Analysis at Mars. His work on Diurnal cycle as part of general Atmospheric sciences study is frequently linked to Surface and Abundance, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Atmosphere of Mars study improves the overall literature in Martian.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Background levels of methane in Mars' atmosphere show strong seasonal variations (102 citations)
  • Methane on Mars and Habitability: Challenges and Responses (20 citations)
  • Indigenous and exogenous organics and surface–atmosphere cycling inferred from carbon and oxygen isotopes at Gale crater (12 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Hydrogen
  • Astronomy

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Martian surface, Sample Analysis at Mars and Environmental science. His Mars Exploration Program research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Diurnal temperature variation, Isotopologue and Biosignature. The Astrobiology study combines topics in areas such as Atmosphere, Trace gas, Sprite and Orbiter.

His Martian surface research includes themes of Plume, Mineralogy, Mixing ratio and Regolith. His Sample Analysis at Mars research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Infrared, Optics, Tunable laser, Spectral line and Analytical chemistry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Parts-per notation, Atmospheric sciences and Surface pressure.
