In his research, Structural geology, Landform, Tectonics and Earth science is intimately related to Crust, which falls under the overarching field of Closure temperature.
His most cited work include:
- The effects of long alpha-stopping distances on (U‐Th)/He ages (838 citations)
- Helium diffusion from apatite: General behavior as illustrated by Durango fluorapatite (723 citations)
- (U-Th)/He Dating: Techniques, Calibrations, and Applications (576 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Kenneth A. Farley spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Paleontology, Mars Exploration Program and Mantle.
His research on Mineralogy focuses in particular on Apatite.
His Apatite study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Closure temperature and Titanite.
Kenneth A. Farley interconnects Interplanetary dust cloud and Canyon in the investigation of issues within Paleontology.
His Mantle research incorporates themes from Volcano, Noble gas, Lithosphere and Hotspot.
His Helium research incorporates elements of Thermal diffusivity and Analytical chemistry.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (31.42%)
- Mineralogy (22.05%)
- Paleontology (15.71%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Mars Exploration Program (12.08%)
- Geochemistry (31.42%)
- Astrobiology (10.27%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Astrobiology, Geochronology and Paleontology.
His work on Martian as part of general Mars Exploration Program research is often related to Environmental science, thus linking different fields of science.
When carried out as part of a general Geochemistry research project, his work on Weathering and Basalt is frequently linked to work in Goethite and In situ, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His research in Geochronology intersects with topics in Jarosite, Climate change, Erosion and Plagioclase.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Canyon and Geomorphology.
His Pyroxene study is related to the wider topic of Mineralogy.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Rapid recovery of life at ground zero of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction (63 citations)
- The sustainability of habitability on terrestrial planets: Insights, questions, and needed measurements from Mars for understanding the evolution of Earth-like worlds (47 citations)
- Enhanced East Pacific Rise hydrothermal activity during the last two glacial terminations. (46 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Basalt
His main research concerns Mars Exploration Program, Paleontology, Geochemistry, Geochronology and Astrobiology.
His Mars Exploration Program research includes themes of Meteorite and Circumstellar habitable zone.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Paleoclimatology and Geomorphology in addition to Paleontology.
Kenneth A. Farley works mostly in the field of Geomorphology, limiting it down to concerns involving Fault and, occasionally, Thermochronology, Bedrock, Range, Oceanic plateau and Pediment.
His work deals with themes such as Erosion and Fluvial, which intersect with Geochemistry.
The Gale crater study combines topics in areas such as Fractionation and Mineralogy.
