- Provenance and diagenesis of the evaporite-bearing Burns formation, Meridiani Planum, Mars (425 citations)
- Stratigraphy and sedimentology of a dry to wet eolian depositional system, Burns formation, Meridiani Planum, Mars (414 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Nicholas J. Tosca mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mars Exploration Program, Sedimentary rock, Meridiani Planum and Diagenesis.
As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Geochemistry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Sedimentary depositional environment, and often Facies and Illite.
The Martian and Exploration of Mars research Nicholas J. Tosca does as part of his general Mars Exploration Program study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Sample, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sediment, Aeolian processes and Siliciclastic.
His Meridiani Planum study which covers Hematite that intersects with Jarosite.
His Diagenesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentology, Clay minerals and Porosity.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Nicholas J. Tosca mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Diagenesis, Sedimentary rock, Mars Exploration Program and Seawater.
His work on Geochemistry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Taphonomy.
His research integrates issues of Siderite, Pore water pressure and Archean in his study of Diagenesis.
His study in Sedimentary rock is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Earth history and Glauconite.
His work on Martian as part of general Mars Exploration Program research is often related to Stratigraphy, thus linking different fields of science.
His studies in Martian integrate themes in fields like Earth science and Exploration of Mars.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Experimental constraints on Li isotope fractionation during clay formation (30 citations)
