Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Operating system
  • Basalt

Robert C. Anderson spends much of his time researching Mineralogy, Mars Exploration Program, Impact crater, Rocknest and Sedimentary rock. His research investigates the connection between Mineralogy and topics such as Basalt that intersect with problems in Volcanic rock, Alpha particle X-ray spectrometer and Composition of Mars. His studies in Mars Exploration Program integrate themes in fields like Soil water and Meteorite.

As a member of one scientific family, Robert C. Anderson mostly works in the field of Impact crater, focusing on Geochemistry and, on occasion, Dust devil. He focuses mostly in the field of Rocknest, narrowing it down to topics relating to Sample Analysis at Mars and, in certain cases, Remote sensing, Exploration of Mars, Radiation assessment detector, Gas analyzer and Total organic carbon. The Sedimentary rock study combines topics in areas such as Outcrop, Hematite and Meridiani Planum.

His most cited work include:

  • Overview of the Spirit Mars Exploration Rover Mission to Gusev Crater: Landing site to Backstay Rock in the Columbia Hills (568 citations)
  • A habitable fluvio-lacustrine environment at Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (499 citations)
  • Mars Science Laboratory Mission and Science Investigation (436 citations)

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

Robert C. Anderson mostly deals with Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Martian, Remote sensing and Impact crater. His study on Mars Exploration Program is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Mineralogy. Robert C. Anderson has included themes like Sedimentary rock, Basalt, Volcanic rock and Meridiani Planum in his Mineralogy study.

His Martian study incorporates themes from Aerospace engineering and Regolith. His Impact crater study combines topics in areas such as Geochemistry and Aeolian processes. His Tharsis research incorporates elements of Earth science, Tectonics, Noachian and Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (44.83%)
  • Astrobiology (18.72%)
  • Martian (16.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (44.83%)
  • Geochemistry (10.84%)
  • Paleontology (7.88%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Astrobiology and Martian. His studies deal with areas such as Mineralogy and Petroleum engineering as well as Mars Exploration Program. Robert C. Anderson works mostly in the field of Geochemistry, limiting it down to concerns involving Gale crater and, occasionally, Traverse, Outcrop and Sedimentary rock.

His research investigates the link between Paleontology and topics such as Tharsis that cross with problems in Impact crater. His study on Martian surface and Sample Analysis at Mars is often connected to Near-Earth object and Earth as part of broader study in Astrobiology. His Martian research incorporates themes from Aeolian processes, Mineral hydration, Earth science and Morphology.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Geological and hydrological histories of the Argyre province, Mars (20 citations)
  • Exploration telepresence: A strategy for optimizing scientific research at remote space destinations. (13 citations)
  • Uniaxial Compressive Strengths of Rocks Drilled at Gale Crater, Mars (12 citations)

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

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Operating system
  • Basalt

His primary areas of investigation include Mars Exploration Program, Geochemistry, Impact crater, Astrobiology and Gale crater. He has researched Mars Exploration Program in several fields, including Mineralogy and Petroleum engineering. His work deals with themes such as Basalt and Mafic, which intersect with Mineralogy.

In Impact crater, he works on issues like Tharsis, which are connected to Tectonics, Paleontology, Rift and Basin and range topography. Many of his research projects under Astrobiology are closely connected to Earth with Earth, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His research in Gale crater intersects with topics in Sedimentary rock and Outcrop.
