Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Oxygen
  • Hydrogen

Ian Wright spends much of his time researching Meteorite, Astrobiology, Chondrite, Analytical chemistry and Isotopes of carbon. The Meteorite study combines topics in areas such as Martian and Mars Exploration Program. His Astrobiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Astronomy and Planet.

The concepts of his Chondrite study are interwoven with issues in Organic matter, Carbon and Mineralogy. His research on Analytical chemistry also deals with topics like

  • Stable isotope ratio that connect with fields like Isotopes of oxygen,
  • Nitrogen which connect with Instrumentation. His work deals with themes such as Geochemistry and Carbonate, which intersect with Isotopes of carbon.

His most cited work include:

  • Comet 81P/Wild 2 under a microscope. (742 citations)
  • Impact features on Stardust: implications for comet 81P/Wild 2 dust. (269 citations)
  • Record of fluid-rock interactions on Mars from the meteorite ALH84001. (195 citations)

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

Ian Wright mainly investigates Astrobiology, Meteorite, Chondrite, Mineralogy and Carbon. His research in the fields of Mars Exploration Program, Comet and Solar System overlaps with other disciplines such as Ptolemy's table of chords. In Meteorite, he works on issues like Isotopes of carbon, which are connected to Chemical composition.

His research in Chondrite intersects with topics in Geochemistry, Isotopes of nitrogen and Organic matter. His Geochemistry research incorporates themes from Carbonate and Oxygen. Ian Wright has included themes like Environmental chemistry, Combustion, Nitrogen and Analytical chemistry in his Carbon study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (41.96%)
  • Meteorite (26.81%)
  • Chondrite (17.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Astrobiology (41.96%)
  • Comet (13.25%)
  • Chondrite (17.35%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrobiology, Comet, Chondrite, In situ resource utilization and Mineralogy. His work in Astrobiology addresses issues such as Polar, which are connected to fields such as Prospecting and In situ. His Comet study also includes fields such as

  • Mass spectrometry which intersects with area such as Astronomy and Gas chromatography,
  • Mass spectrum which connect with Spectral line.

Chondrite is a subfield of Meteorite that Ian Wright studies. His Meteorite study frequently links to related topics such as Silicate. His studies in Mineralogy integrate themes in fields like Geochemistry and Mineral.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Organics in comet 67P – a first comparative analysis of mass spectra from ROSINA–DFMS, COSAC and Ptolemy (93 citations)
  • CHO-bearing organic compounds at the surface of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko revealed by Ptolemy (82 citations)
  • An oxygen isotope study of Wark–Lovering rims on type A CAIs in primitive carbonaceous chondrites (35 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Oxygen
  • Hydrogen

His main research concerns Astrobiology, Comet, In situ resource utilization, Analytical chemistry and Formation and evolution of the Solar System. His work on Solar System as part of general Astrobiology study is frequently linked to Context, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Comet study incorporates themes from Mass spectrum, Orbiter and Concentration ratio.

His studies deal with areas such as Chondrite and Isotopes of oxygen as well as Formation and evolution of the Solar System. Chondrite is a subfield of Meteorite that Ian Wright investigates. Meteorite and Mineralogy are commonly linked in his work.
