What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
David W. Mittlefehldt focuses on Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Howardite, Diogenite and Meteorite.
His research investigates the link between Geochemistry and topics such as Silicate that cross with problems in Diagenesis and Noachian.
His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Basalt, Meridiani Planum and Mars Exploration Program.
His research integrates issues of Impact crater and Eucrite in his study of Howardite.
His research investigates the connection with Eucrite and areas like Crust which intersect with concerns in Mantle.
His work in the fields of Meteorite, such as Carbonaceous chondrite and Chondrite, overlaps with other areas such as Stable isotope ratio.
His most cited work include:
- Non-chondritic meteorites from asteroidal bodies (410 citations)
- ALH84001, a cumulate orthopyroxenite member of the martian meteorite clan (307 citations)
- The fall, recovery, orbit, and composition of the Tagish Lake meteorite: a new type of carbonaceous chondrite. (258 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Meteorite, Astrobiology, Chondrite and Eucrite.
David W. Mittlefehldt has researched Geochemistry in several fields, including Achondrite and Mineralogy.
His Meteorite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mantle, Regolith and Crust.
His work carried out in the field of Chondrite brings together such families of science as Refractory, Partial melting and Analytical chemistry.
David W. Mittlefehldt has included themes like Howardite and Diogenite in his Eucrite study.
The Olivine study combines topics in areas such as Augite, Ureilite, Igneous rock and Ultramafic rock.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (56.67%)
- Meteorite (43.33%)
- Astrobiology (28.57%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?
- Geochemistry (56.67%)
- Astrobiology (28.57%)
- Meteorite (43.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
David W. Mittlefehldt mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Astrobiology, Meteorite, Impact crater and Eucrite.
His Geochemistry study incorporates themes from Earth science, Petrology and Meridiani Planum.
His research in Astrobiology intersects with topics in Astronomy, Olivine and Terrestrial planet.
He is interested in Parent body, which is a field of Meteorite.
His studies in Impact crater integrate themes in fields like Mineralogy, Noachian, Lithology and Mars Exploration Program.
He interconnects Howardite, Achondrite and Diogenite in the investigation of issues within Eucrite.
Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Spectroscopic Characterization of Mineralogy and Its Diversity Across Vesta (208 citations)
- Vesta’s Shape and Morphology (182 citations)
- Elemental mapping by Dawn reveals exogenic H in Vesta's regolith. (171 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His main research concerns Diogenite, Howardite, Astrobiology, Eucrite and Meteorite.
His studies deal with areas such as Geochemistry, Basalt, Mantle and Crust as well as Diogenite.
As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Geochemistry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Parent body, and often Murchison meteorite.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Achondrite and Igneous rock.
His Carbonaceous chondrite study, which is part of a larger body of work in Meteorite, is frequently linked to Neutron temperature, bridging the gap between disciplines.
While the research belongs to areas of Impact crater, he spends his time largely on the problem of Mineralogy, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Breccia.
