Michael C. Malin focuses on Mars Exploration Program, Sedimentary rock, Astrobiology, Mineralogy and Impact crater. Michael C. Malin focuses mostly in the field of Mars Exploration Program, narrowing it down to topics relating to Orbiter and, in certain cases, Remote sensing. As part of the same scientific family, Michael C. Malin usually focuses on Sedimentary rock, concentrating on Meridiani Planum and intersecting with Hematite, Diagenesis, Sedimentary depositional environment and Composition of Mars.
His work in Astrobiology covers topics such as Albedo which are related to areas like Asteroid. His studies deal with areas such as Bedrock, Basalt and Water on Mars as well as Impact crater. His Thermal Emission Imaging System research includes elements of Atmosphere of Mars and Planet.
His most cited work include:
- Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer experiment: Investigation description and surface science results (751 citations)
- Context Camera Investigation on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (729 citations)
- The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) for the Mars 2001 Odyssey mission (690 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Impact crater, Remote sensing and Orbiter. His Mars Exploration Program research incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry and Aeolian processes. His Sedimentary rock study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Mineralogy and Meridiani Planum.
Michael C. Malin has included themes like Basalt and Geomorphology in his Impact crater study. His work in the fields of Multispectral image overlaps with other areas such as High resolution. His Orbiter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter, Atmospheric sciences and Mars global surveyor.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Michael C. Malin mainly investigates Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Gale crater, Geochemistry and Outcrop. His Mars Exploration Program research includes themes of Sedimentary rock, Orbiter, Impact crater and Atmospheric sciences. The concepts of his Orbiter study are interwoven with issues in Wind speed, Mars landing and Remote sensing.
His Meteoroid and Comet study in the realm of Astrobiology connects with subjects such as Spring and Environmental science. His study in Geochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sediment and Bay. His work focuses on many connections between Outcrop and other disciplines, such as Fluvial, that overlap with his field of interest in Sedimentology and Bedform.
Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A habitable fluvio-lacustrine environment at Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (499 citations)
- Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Instrument Overview (490 citations)
- Mars Science Laboratory Mission and Science Investigation (436 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Astronomy
- Optics
- Sedimentary rock
Michael C. Malin mostly deals with Mars Exploration Program, Sedimentary rock, Remote sensing, Rocknest and Orbiter. His Mars Exploration Program research includes themes of Impact crater and Optics. His Sedimentary rock study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Geochemistry.
His study in the field of Multispectral image is also linked to topics like Diviner. Michael C. Malin usually deals with Rocknest and limits it to topics linked to Sample Analysis at Mars and Mineralogy. Michael C. Malin combines subjects such as Pixel, Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences with his study of Orbiter.
