Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Paleontology

Impact crater, Astrobiology, Asteroid, Solar System and Crust are his primary areas of study. His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Jupiter, Martian, Dwarf planet, Geomorphology and Terrestrial planet. His primary area of study in Astrobiology is in the field of Pluto.

His Asteroid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Howardite, Terrain, Meteorite and Diogenite. His study looks at the intersection of Solar System and topics like Spacecraft with Formation and evolution of the Solar System and Orbiter. His work carried out in the field of Crust brings together such families of science as Lithosphere and Petrology.

His most cited work include:

  • Cratering rates in the outer Solar System (387 citations)
  • The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons. (283 citations)
  • Thickness constraints on the icy shells of the galilean satellites from a comparison of crater shapes (187 citations)

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

Paul M. Schenk spends much of his time researching Astrobiology, Impact crater, Pluto, Geophysics and Geomorphology. Paul M. Schenk studies Asteroid which is a part of Astrobiology. Paul M. Schenk studied Asteroid and Geologic map that intersect with Remote sensing.

His Impact crater research incorporates elements of Tectonics, Geochemistry, Crust and Dwarf planet, Solar System. Pluto is often connected to Terrain in his work. His Geophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Volcano and Enceladus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (39.08%)
  • Impact crater (35.88%)
  • Pluto (17.94%)

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

  • Impact crater (35.88%)
  • Pluto (17.94%)
  • Astrobiology (39.08%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Impact crater, Pluto, Astrobiology, New horizons and Solar System. He has researched Impact crater in several fields, including Paleontology, Tectonics, Geophysics, Icy moon and Dwarf planet. His Pluto study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spectral line, Variation and Terrain.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Function, Measure and Surface. His study explores the link between Astrobiology and topics such as Saturn that cross with problems in Uranus. As part of the same scientific family, Paul M. Schenk usually focuses on Solar System, concentrating on Neptune and intersecting with Billion years.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Initial results from the New Horizons exploration of 2014 MU69, a small Kuiper Belt object (75 citations)
  • Impact craters on Pluto and Charon indicate a deficit of small Kuiper belt objects (71 citations)
  • Impact Craters on Pluto and Charon Indicate a Deficit of Small Kuiper Belt Objects (65 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Paleontology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Impact crater, Pluto, New horizons, Solar System and Astrobiology. The concepts of his Impact crater study are interwoven with issues in Ground ice, Mars Exploration Program, Paleontology, Crust and Icy moon. The Mars Exploration Program study combines topics in areas such as Earth science and Jupiter.

His study focuses on the intersection of Pluto and fields such as Geophysics with connections in the field of Terrain, Lithology and Chaotic. His study in Solar System is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Spacecraft, Neptune and Albedo. Paul M. Schenk is involved in the study of Astrobiology that focuses on Dwarf planet in particular.
