- A habitable fluvio-lacustrine environment at Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (499 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Astrobiology, Mineralogy and CRISM.
His studies in Mars Exploration Program integrate themes in fields like Sedimentary rock, Impact crater and Clay minerals.
His Sedimentary rock research incorporates themes from Sedimentary depositional environment and Outcrop.
His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Water on Mars, Stratigraphy, Earth science and Hesperian.
His Mineralogy research includes themes of Albedo, Absorption, Regolith and Water content.
The concepts of his CRISM study are interwoven with issues in Remote sensing and Geomorphology.

His work carried out in the field of Astrobiology brings together such families of science as Volcanism, Pyroclastic rock and Mineral redox buffer.
When carried out as part of a general Mineralogy research project, his work on Ilmenite is frequently linked to work in Modal, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
Ralph E. Milliken has included themes like Emissivity, Remote sensing and Meteorite in his Asteroid study.
Ralph E. Milliken interconnects Sedimentary depositional environment and Geochemistry, Clay minerals in the investigation of issues within Mars Exploration Program.
His Clay minerals research includes elements of Orbit and Stratigraphy.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The surface composition of asteroid 162173 Ryugu from Hayabusa2 near-infrared spectroscopy (122 citations)
- Direct evidence of surface exposed water ice in the lunar polar regions (115 citations)
- A Field Guide to Finding Fossils on Mars. (34 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
- Basalt
His scientific interests lie mostly in Mineralogy, Mars Exploration Program, Absorption, Meteorite and Materials science.
His work on Diagenesis as part of general Mineralogy research is frequently linked to Hydrated silica, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His study in Mars Exploration Program is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fluvial, Remote sensing, Geochemistry, Outcrop and Sedimentary depositional environment.
He studies Clay minerals, a branch of Geochemistry.
His studies deal with areas such as Geological evidence, Astrobiology, Martian surface and Fossil Record as well as Sedimentary depositional environment.
His study on Absorption also encompasses disciplines like
- Asteroid that connect with fields like Thermal, Impact crater, Radiometry and Regolith,
- Wavelength which is related to area like Grain size, Stellar classification and Shock metamorphism.
