What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Mineral
- Hydrogen
- Astronomy
Kevin D. McKeegan mainly investigates Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Meteorite, Isotopes of oxygen and Chondrite.
His study in Mineralogy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Melilite, Precambrian and Sulfur.
The Archean research he does as part of his general Geochemistry study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Akilia, Rhyolite and Lava, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His Meteorite research is classified as research in Astrobiology.
Many of his research projects under Astrobiology are closely connected to Billion years with Billion years, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
Kevin D. McKeegan has included themes like Calcite, Annual cycle, Monsoon, Oceanography and Stalagmite in his Isotopes of oxygen study.
His most cited work include:
- Evidence for life on Earth before 3,800 million years ago. (944 citations)
- Methane-consuming archaea revealed by directly coupled isotopic and phylogenetic analysis. (819 citations)
- Comet 81P/Wild 2 under a microscope. (742 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Kevin D. McKeegan spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Chondrite, Astrobiology, Mineralogy and Meteorite.
In his research on the topic of Geochemistry, Sulfide is strongly related with Sulfur.
His Chondrite study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Isotopes of oxygen and Analytical chemistry.
His Analytical chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Melilite and Allende meteorite.
A large part of his Mineralogy studies is devoted to Pyroxene.
His studies examine the connections between Meteorite and genetics, as well as such issues in Martian, with regards to Crust.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (26.87%)
- Chondrite (25.75%)
- Astrobiology (25.37%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Geochemistry (26.87%)
- Meteorite (17.91%)
- Astrobiology (25.37%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Meteorite, Astrobiology, Zircon and Martian.
In general Meteorite study, his work on Chondrite often relates to the realm of Bearing, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
He interconnects Formation and evolution of the Solar System, Partial melting, Interplanetary dust cloud, Analytical chemistry and Asteroid in the investigation of issues within Chondrite.
His research integrates issues of Giant planet, Terrestrial planet and Isotopes of chlorine in his study of Astrobiology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Lunar magma ocean, Proxy and Geochronology.
His Mineralogy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Trace element, Sulfate and Allende meteorite.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Early formation of the Moon 4.51 billion years ago. (96 citations)
- Water Reservoirs in Small Planetary Bodies: Meteorites, Asteroids, and Comets (62 citations)
- Isotopic links between atmospheric chemistry and the deep sulphur cycle on Mars (62 citations)
