Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Basalt
  • Erosion

Her primary scientific interests are in Mars Exploration Program, Mineralogy, Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Rocknest and Martian. Her Mars Exploration Program study spans across into areas like Fluorine and Low calcium. Her Mineralogy research includes elements of Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry and Gale crater.

She has included themes like Partial least squares regression, Telescope and Remote sensing in her Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy study. The various areas that Nina Lanza examines in her Remote sensing study include Detector, Planetary science, Optical fiber and Spectrometer. Her Martian research is within the category of Astrobiology.

Her most cited work include:

  • The ChemCam Instrument Suite on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Rover: Body Unit and Combined System Tests (296 citations)
  • The ChemCam Instrument Suite on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Rover: Body Unit and Combined System Tests (296 citations)
  • Volatile and organic compositions of sedimentary rocks in Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (250 citations)

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

Nina Lanza spends much of her time researching Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Geochemistry, Gale crater and Martian. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Impact crater, Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Mineralogy and Remote sensing. Her work deals with themes such as Rocknest and Mars rover, which intersect with Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.

Many of her research projects under Geochemistry are closely connected to Ridge with Ridge, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her Sedimentary rock research incorporates themes from Noachian, Basalt and Igneous rock. Her studies deal with areas such as Earth science and Groundwater as well as Diagenesis.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (62.89%)
  • Astrobiology (30.82%)
  • Geochemistry (27.67%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (62.89%)
  • Geochemistry (27.67%)
  • Astrobiology (30.82%)

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

Her main research concerns Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Astrobiology, Gale crater and Diagenesis. Her Mars Exploration Program research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and Igneous rock. Her work in Geochemistry covers topics such as Meteorite which are related to areas like Area density, Hesperian, Basalt and Breccia.

Her Martian study, which is part of a larger body of work in Astrobiology, is frequently linked to Desert varnish, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her work in the fields of Martian, such as Martian surface, intersects with other areas such as Environmental science. Nina Lanza has researched Gale crater in several fields, including Organic matter, Ridge, Sequence and Groundwater.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Mars Extant Life: What's Next? Conference Report. (11 citations)
  • Iron Mobility During Diagenesis at Vera Rubin Ridge, Gale Crater, Mars. (10 citations)
  • Iron Mobility during Diagenesis at Vera Rubin ridge, Gale Crater, Mars (10 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Basalt
  • Erosion

Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Diagenesis, Outcrop and Sedimentary rock are her primary areas of study. Her Mars Exploration Program study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Laser. As part of one scientific family, Nina Lanza deals mainly with the area of Geochemistry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Impact crater, and often Lithification, Bedrock, Fluvial and Clastic rock.

As part of the same scientific family, Nina Lanza usually focuses on Diagenesis, concentrating on Hematite and intersecting with Chemical index, Clay minerals and Gale crater. Her Outcrop study incorporates themes from Stratigraphic unit and Butte. The Sedimentary rock study combines topics in areas such as Fracture and Igneous rock.
