Kenneth L. Tanaka spends much of his time researching Mars Exploration Program, Hesperian, Geologic map, Geomorphology and Geophysics.
His Mars Exploration Program research is included under the broader classification of Astrobiology.
His Hesperian study incorporates themes from Paleontology, Outcrop, Noachian and Chryse Planitia.
Kenneth L. Tanaka has researched Noachian in several fields, including Olympus Mons and Tharsis.
His Geomorphology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Impact crater.
His study in Geophysics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lithosphere and Graben.
His most cited work include:
- GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE WESTERN EQUATORIAL REGION OF MARS (543 citations)
- The stratigraphy of Mars (492 citations)
- Geologic map of the northern plains of Mars (244 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Mars Exploration Program, Geomorphology, Geologic map, Paleontology and Hesperian.
His Mars Exploration Program study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Impact crater, Earth science and Geophysics.
Kenneth L. Tanaka interconnects Lava, Plateau and Chryse Planitia in the investigation of issues within Geomorphology.
Kenneth L. Tanaka has researched Geologic map in several fields, including Venus, Stratigraphy and Quadrangle.
His work on Volcano and Landform as part of general Paleontology study is frequently linked to Planum temporale, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His study on Hesperian also encompasses disciplines like
- Noachian together with Tharsis,
- Fault scarp that intertwine with fields like Outcrop.
He most often published in these fields:
- Mars Exploration Program (63.57%)
- Geomorphology (35.66%)
- Geologic map (28.68%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2019)?

- Astrobiology (21.71%)
- Geologic map (28.68%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Kenneth L. Tanaka focuses on Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Geologic map, Impact crater and Martian.
In Mars Exploration Program, he works on issues like Geomorphology, which are connected to Venus.
His Geologic map research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Crater counting and Geodesy.
His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Volcano, Water on Mars, Geophysics and Hesperian.
His research integrates issues of Outcrop and Noachian in his study of Hesperian.
His work on Planetary geology as part of general Martian research is frequently linked to Outflow, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Between 2010 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Geologic map of Mars (203 citations)
- A new analysis of Mars "Special Regions": findings of the second MEPAG Special Regions Science Analysis Group (SR-SAG2) (167 citations)
- Massive CO2 Ice Deposits Sequestered in the South Polar Layered Deposits of Mars (138 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Volcano
- Basalt
- Sedimentary rock
His primary areas of study are Mars Exploration Program, Impact crater, Geologic map, Hesperian and Paleontology.
As a member of one scientific family, Kenneth L. Tanaka mostly works in the field of Mars Exploration Program, focusing on Geomorphology and, on occasion, Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter.
He combines subjects such as Crater counting and Geophysics with his study of Geologic map.
His Hesperian study combines topics in areas such as Outcrop and Noachian.
His Sedimentary rock research incorporates elements of Volcano, Mantle, Loess, Escarpment and Fault scarp.
His work deals with themes such as Planetary protection, Exploration of Mars, Committee on Space Research and Extraterrestrial Environment, which intersect with Martian.
