Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Mineral
  • Hydrogen
  • Astronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Sample Analysis at Mars, Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Rocknest and Martian. Laurie A. Leshin works in the field of Astrobiology, namely Meteorite. Her Meteorite study incorporates themes from Comet, Silicate minerals and Asteroid.

Laurie A. Leshin interconnects Geochemistry, Basalt and Quadrupole mass analyzer in the investigation of issues within Mars Exploration Program. Her Rocknest research integrates issues from Atmosphere and Mineralogy. Laurie A. Leshin has researched Martian in several fields, including Sedimentary rock, Diagenesis and Isotopes of carbon.

Her most cited work include:

  • Comet 81P/Wild 2 under a microscope. (742 citations)
  • A habitable fluvio-lacustrine environment at Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (499 citations)
  • Isotopic Compositions of Cometary Matter Returned by Stardust (314 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Martian, Geochemistry and Meteorite. Her Sample Analysis at Mars and Gale crater study, which is part of a larger body of work in Astrobiology, is frequently linked to Environmental science and Martian soil, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her Mars Exploration Program research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mineralogy and Weathering.

Her studies examine the connections between Martian and genetics, as well as such issues in Atmosphere, with regards to Earth. Her Geochemistry study which covers Chondrite that intersects with Isotopes of oxygen and Isotope. The concepts of her Meteorite study are interwoven with issues in Comet, Refractory, Origin of water on Earth, Analytical chemistry and Asteroid.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (40.59%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (39.60%)
  • Martian (30.69%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2016)?

  • Astrobiology (40.59%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (39.60%)
  • Martian (30.69%)

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

Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Martian, Sample Analysis at Mars and Rocknest are her primary areas of study. Her work on Atmosphere of Mars, Gale crater and Impact crater as part of her general Astrobiology study is frequently connected to Environmental science, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Mars Exploration Program, Fracture is strongly linked to Geochemistry.

Laurie A. Leshin has included themes like Sedimentary rock, Planetary science, Regolith and Diagenesis in her Martian study. Her Sample Analysis at Mars research includes themes of Meteorite and Quadrupole mass analyzer. Her work deals with themes such as Aeolian processes and Mineralogy, which intersect with Rocknest.

Between 2012 and 2016, her most popular works were:

  • A habitable fluvio-lacustrine environment at Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (499 citations)
  • Volatile, Isotope, and Organic Analysis of Martian Fines with the Mars Curiosity Rover (293 citations)
  • Volatile and organic compositions of sedimentary rocks in Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (250 citations)

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

  • Mineral
  • Hydrogen
  • Astronomy

Her primary scientific interests are in Martian, Mars Exploration Program, Sample Analysis at Mars, Astrobiology and Rocknest. Her study looks at the intersection of Martian and topics like Diagenesis with Weathering. In her works, she conducts interdisciplinary research on Sample Analysis at Mars and Chlorobenzene.

Her work on Regolith, Meteorite and Atmosphere of Mars as part of general Astrobiology study is frequently linked to Carbonate, bridging the gap between disciplines. Laurie A. Leshin combines subjects such as Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry, Basalt and Mineralogy with her study of Rocknest. Her Sedimentary rock research incorporates themes from Planetary science, Extraterrestrial Environment and Biosphere.
