Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Jupiter

Her primary areas of investigation include Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Geodesy, Geophysics and Altimeter. Her work in Mars Exploration Program tackles topics such as Northern Hemisphere which are related to areas like Latitude. In general Astrobiology, her work in Asteroid is often linked to Environmental science linking many areas of study.

Her studies in Geophysics integrate themes in fields like Gravity anomaly and Geoid. She interconnects Orbiter and Impact crater in the investigation of issues within Altimeter. Her research integrates issues of Paleontology, Crust and Noachian in her study of Tharsis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter: Experiment summary after the first year of global mapping of Mars (1131 citations)
  • The Global Topography of Mars and Implications for Surface Evolution (736 citations)
  • The Global Topography of Mars and Implications for Surface Evolution (736 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Geophysics, Mars Exploration Program, Altimeter, Astrobiology and Remote sensing. The various areas that Maria T. Zuber examines in her Geophysics study include Gravity, Gravity anomaly and Lithosphere. Maria T. Zuber has included themes like Atmosphere and Atmospheric sciences in her Mars Exploration Program study.

Maria T. Zuber combines subjects such as Impact crater and Polar with her study of Altimeter. When carried out as part of a general Astrobiology research project, her work on Asteroid and Planetary science is frequently linked to work in Environmental science, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. The concepts of her Remote sensing study are interwoven with issues in Spacecraft, Orbiter and Laser, Optics.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (30.62%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (30.90%)
  • Altimeter (23.17%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Astrobiology (19.10%)
  • Impact crater (19.24%)
  • Geophysics (30.62%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Astrobiology, Impact crater, Geophysics, Remote sensing and Mars Exploration Program. Her work on Enceladus and Meteorite as part of general Astrobiology study is frequently linked to Environmental science, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her Impact crater study combines topics in areas such as Structural basin, Geology of the Moon, Bouguer anomaly, Gravity anomaly and Geochemistry.

Her work on Crust as part of general Geophysics study is frequently connected to Flux, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Her Remote sensing study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Orbiter and Space weathering. Maria T. Zuber studies Mars Exploration Program, focusing on Life on Mars in particular.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A New Lunar Digital Elevation Model from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter and SELENE Terrain Camera (172 citations)
  • Dawn Arrives at Ceres: Exploration of a Small Volatile-Rich World (150 citations)
  • Impact jetting as the origin of chondrules. (127 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Jupiter

Maria T. Zuber mainly investigates Impact crater, Geophysics, Crust, Remote sensing and Gravity. Impact crater is a subfield of Astrobiology that she explores. Her study in Meteorite and Mars Exploration Program falls under the purview of Astrobiology.

Her Geophysics research incorporates elements of Asteroid belt, Solar System and Northern Hemisphere. Her Crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Porosity, Geology of the Moon, Petrology and Mantle. Her Remote sensing research includes themes of Orbiter, Lunar mare and Space weathering.
