Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Basalt

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Mars Exploration Program, Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry and Mineralogy. His work focuses on many connections between Paleontology and other disciplines, such as Reef, that overlap with his field of interest in Stromatolite, Bottom water, Benthic zone and Marine biology. His study looks at the intersection of Mars Exploration Program and topics like Basalt with Volcanic rock.

His research in Sedimentary rock intersects with topics in Sedimentary depositional environment, Facies, Fluvial and Weathering. His Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Impact crater and Meridiani Planum. His Mineralogy research includes themes of Noachian and Gypsum, Bassanite, Halite, Anhydrite.

His most cited work include:

  • In situ evidence for an ancient aqueous environment at Meridiani Planum, Mars. (717 citations)
  • Oxidation of the Ediacaran Ocean (650 citations)
  • Oxidation of the Ediacaran Ocean (650 citations)

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

John P. Grotzinger spends much of his time researching Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Gale crater and Sedimentary rock. His Mars Exploration Program study incorporates themes from Aeolian processes, Impact crater and Mineralogy. His Mineralogy research incorporates themes from Rocknest and Basalt.

His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Fluvial, Geomorphology and Meridiani Planum. Facies, Proterozoic, Sedimentary depositional environment, Precambrian and Stratigraphy are the subjects of his Paleontology studies. His Sedimentary rock study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Earth science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (46.54%)
  • Geochemistry (36.41%)
  • Paleontology (26.47%)

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

  • Mars Exploration Program (46.54%)
  • Geochemistry (36.41%)
  • Gale crater (19.72%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Gale crater, Sedimentary rock and Diagenesis. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Mars Exploration Program, focusing on Paleontology and, on occasion, Bedding. John P. Grotzinger has included themes like Bedrock and Fluvial in his Geochemistry study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Structural basin, Geomorphology and Curiosity rover. His studies in Sedimentary rock integrate themes in fields like Impact crater, Olivine, Protolith, Groundwater and Meridiani Planum. His work is dedicated to discovering how Diagenesis, Hematite are connected with Outcrop and Jarosite and other disciplines.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Organic matter preserved in 3-billion-year-old mudstones at Gale crater, Mars. (152 citations)
  • Mineralogy of an ancient lacustrine mudstone succession from the Murray formation, Gale crater, Mars (137 citations)
  • Redox stratification of an ancient lake in Gale crater, Mars (118 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Basalt

Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Sedimentary rock, Diagenesis and Mineralogy are his primary areas of study. His Mars Exploration Program research includes elements of Outcrop and Aeolian processes. His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Infiltration, Abiotic component and Meridiani Planum.

His studies deal with areas such as Impact crater, Fluvial, Provenance, Sedimentology and Stratigraphy as well as Sedimentary rock. The Diagenesis study combines topics in areas such as Hematite, Mafic, Olivine and Protolith. He focuses mostly in the field of Mineralogy, narrowing it down to matters related to Basalt and, in some cases, Igneous rock.
