Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Basalt
  • Paleontology

Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Geomorphology and Landform are his primary areas of study. His work in Martian and Tharsis is related to Mars Exploration Program. His studies deal with areas such as Atmosphere of Mars, Earth science, Hesperian and Ice sheet as well as Tharsis.

His Geochemistry research integrates issues from Stratigraphy and Geophysics. His Geomorphology research incorporates elements of Impact crater and Noachian. In his study, Venus is strongly linked to Outflow, which falls under the umbrella field of Landform.

His most cited work include:

  • Ancient oceans, ice sheets and the hydrological cycle on Mars (551 citations)
  • Hayabusa2 arrives at the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu-A spinning top-shaped rubble pile. (173 citations)
  • The geomorphology, color, and thermal properties of Ryugu: Implications for parent-body processes (145 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Impact crater, Astrobiology and Geomorphology. In Mars Exploration Program, Goro Komatsu works on issues like Earth science, which are connected to Planetary geology. He has researched Geochemistry in several fields, including Structural basin and Volcanism.

His research related to Venus and Asteroid might be considered part of Astrobiology. The concepts of his Geomorphology study are interwoven with issues in Lava, Rille and Terrain. His Martian study incorporates themes from Aeolian processes and Fluvial.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (45.56%)
  • Geochemistry (26.61%)
  • Impact crater (21.37%)

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

  • Geochemistry (26.61%)
  • Asteroid (4.84%)
  • Impact crater (21.37%)

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

Goro Komatsu focuses on Geochemistry, Asteroid, Impact crater, Mud volcano and Mars Exploration Program. His work in the fields of Sedimentary rock overlaps with other areas such as Light-gas gun. His research in Impact crater intersects with topics in Paleontology, Tectonics and Breccia.

Goro Komatsu studied Mud volcano and Volcanism that intersect with Stratigraphy. Goro Komatsu studies Martian, a branch of Mars Exploration Program. His study in Martian is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Structural basin, Geophysics, Exploration of Mars, Scale and Gravitation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hayabusa2 arrives at the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu-A spinning top-shaped rubble pile. (173 citations)
  • The geomorphology, color, and thermal properties of Ryugu: Implications for parent-body processes (145 citations)
  • The geomorphology, color, and thermal properties of Ryugu: Implications for parent-body processes (145 citations)

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

  • Volcano
  • Basalt
  • Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Asteroid, Impact crater, Mud volcano and Structural basin. In his work, Goro Komatsu performs multidisciplinary research in Geochemistry and Field. His research in Impact crater focuses on subjects like Tectonics, which are connected to Hesperian.

His Hesperian research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geomorphology and Thrust fault. His research integrates issues of Martian, Yardang, Landform, Mars Exploration Program and Surface in his study of Structural basin. His Mars Exploration Program research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plateau and China.
