Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Basalt

His primary areas of study are Mars Exploration Program, Impact crater, Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Meridiani Planum. In his research, Atmosphere is intimately related to Aeolian processes, which falls under the overarching field of Mars Exploration Program. Matthew P. Golombek has included themes like Basalt, Geologic Sediments, Geomorphology and Volcanic rock in his Impact crater study.

His work carried out in the field of Mineralogy brings together such families of science as Silicate and Weathering. His Meridiani Planum research includes elements of Sedimentary rock, Earth science, Noachian and Diagenesis. His studies in Martian integrate themes in fields like Regolith and Meteorite.

His most cited work include:

  • Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter: Experiment summary after the first year of global mapping of Mars (1068 citations)
  • Overview of the Spirit Mars Exploration Rover Mission to Gusev Crater: Landing site to Backstay Rock in the Columbia Hills (568 citations)
  • The Opportunity Rover's Athena science investigation at Meridiani Planum, Mars. (440 citations)

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

Matthew P. Golombek focuses on Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Impact crater, Geomorphology and Meridiani Planum. His Mars Exploration Program research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geochemistry, Aeolian processes, Geophysics and Regolith. His Geophysics research includes themes of Orbiter and Seismometer.

His Impact crater study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Basalt, Mineralogy, Noachian and Elysium. His research in Geomorphology intersects with topics in Paleontology and Hesperian. His Meridiani Planum research focuses on subjects like Water on Mars, which are linked to Earth science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (65.74%)
  • Astrobiology (32.53%)
  • Impact crater (30.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (65.74%)
  • Astrobiology (32.53%)
  • Impact crater (30.10%)

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

Matthew P. Golombek mostly deals with Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Impact crater, Geophysics and Regolith. Matthew P. Golombek studied Mars Exploration Program and Seismometer that intersect with Geodesy. The Dust devil research Matthew P. Golombek does as part of his general Astrobiology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Environmental science, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geochemistry, Paleontology, Erosion and Stratigraphy. The concepts of his Geophysics study are interwoven with issues in Atmosphere, Planetary science, Vortex and Thermal. His Regolith research incorporates themes from Hesperian, Rayleigh wave, Bedrock, Geomorphology and Remote sensing.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • SEIS: Insight’s Seismic Experiment for Internal Structure of Mars (81 citations)
  • Initial results from the InSight mission on Mars (77 citations)
  • Planned Products of the Mars Structure Service for the InSight Mission to Mars (61 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Volcano

His primary scientific interests are in Mars Exploration Program, Seismometer, Geophysics, Martian and Regolith. He interconnects Seismology, Induced seismicity, Planetary science and Impact crater in the investigation of issues within Mars Exploration Program. His work deals with themes such as Timekeeping on Mars and Planet, which intersect with Impact crater.

His work carried out in the field of Geophysics brings together such families of science as Rayleigh wave, Surface wave, Thermal and Remote sensing. His research in Martian tackles topics such as Atmosphere which are related to areas like Intraplate earthquake. His research in Regolith intersects with topics in Hesperian, Geochemistry, Elysium, Mineralogy and Bedrock.
