Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Astronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mars Exploration Program, Martian, Geochemistry, Rocknest and Basalt. His Mars Exploration Program research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sedimentary rock, Outcrop, Mineralogy and Remote sensing. The Martian soil research he does as part of his general Martian study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Late Heavy Bombardment, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His research investigates the connection with Geochemistry and areas like Impact crater which intersect with concerns in Water on Mars, Drainage basin and Debris. His study looks at the relationship between Rocknest and fields such as Planetary science, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mantle, Continental crust and Igneous rock in addition to Basalt.

His most cited work include:

  • A habitable fluvio-lacustrine environment at Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (499 citations)
  • Mineralogy of a Mudstone at Yellowknife Bay, Gale Crater, Mars (330 citations)
  • Deposition, exhumation, and paleoclimate of an ancient lake deposit, Gale crater, Mars. (313 citations)

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

Horton E. Newsom focuses on Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Astrobiology, Martian and Impact crater. His studies deal with areas such as Sedimentary rock, Planetary science, Mineralogy and Remote sensing as well as Mars Exploration Program. His study ties his expertise on Meteorite together with the subject of Geochemistry.

His research integrates issues of Planet and Habitability in his study of Astrobiology. His Martian research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Aeolian processes and Regolith. As part of the same scientific family, Horton E. Newsom usually focuses on Basalt, concentrating on Mantle and intersecting with Origin of the Moon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (56.30%)
  • Geochemistry (37.82%)
  • Astrobiology (27.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (56.30%)
  • Geochemistry (37.82%)
  • Gale crater (14.29%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Gale crater, Sedimentary rock and Astrobiology. He interconnects Sedimentary depositional environment and Mineralogy in the investigation of issues within Mars Exploration Program. His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Impact crater and Fluvial.

In general Sedimentary rock, his work in Conglomerate is often linked to Igneous textures linking many areas of study. His Basalt research also works with subjects such as

  • Olivine, which have a strong connection to Sedimentology,
  • Igneous rock which is related to area like Crust. The various areas that Horton E. Newsom examines in his Martian study include Grain size and Weathering.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Deposition, exhumation, and paleoclimate of an ancient lake deposit, Gale crater, Mars. (313 citations)
  • In situ evidence for continental crust on early Mars (122 citations)
  • ChemCam activities and discoveries during the nominal mission of the Mars Science Laboratory in Gale crater, Mars (87 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Basalt
  • Astronomy

His primary areas of investigation include Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Sedimentary rock, Mineralogy and Gale crater. His studies in Mars Exploration Program integrate themes in fields like Paleontology, Weathering and Remote sensing. His Geochemistry study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Astrobiology.

His Sedimentary rock study incorporates themes from Aeolian processes and Impact crater. His work carried out in the field of Mineralogy brings together such families of science as Planetary science, Atmosphere and Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. His Martian research incorporates themes from Olivine, Basalt, Planet and Volatiles.
