Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oxygen
  • Organic chemistry
  • Hydrogen

His primary areas of investigation include Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Analytical chemistry, Isotopes of carbon and Hydrogen. His study deals with a combination of Mineralogy and Scale of temperature. The concepts of his Analytical chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Rhyolite and Organic matter.

Samuel Epstein has included themes like Hydrology, Co2 concentration, Carbon dioxide and Arid in his Isotopes of carbon study. The concepts of his Hydrogen study are interwoven with issues in Equilibrium fractionation and Kaolinite. His Mass spectrometry research focuses on Carbon and how it relates to Oxygen.

His most cited work include:

  • REVISED CARBONATE-WATER ISOTOPIC TEMPERATURE SCALE (1746 citations)
  • MEASUREMENT OF PALEOTEMPERATURES AND TEMPERATURES OF THE UPPER CRETACEOUS OF ENGLAND, DENMARK, AND THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES (592 citations)
  • Hydrogen isotope fractionation between OH-bearing minerals and water (581 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mineralogy, Analytical chemistry, Meteorite, Geochemistry and Hydrogen. His work focuses on many connections between Mineralogy and other disciplines, such as Isotopes of oxygen, that overlap with his field of interest in Calcite, Tektite and Firn. The Analytical chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Fractionation and Oxygen.

His work in the fields of Chondrite and Murchison meteorite overlaps with other areas such as Interstellar cloud. His work on Sedimentary rock, Metamorphic rock and Diagenesis as part of general Geochemistry study is frequently connected to Earth, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Hydrogen research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Isotope analysis, Carbon and Cellulose.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mineralogy (31.11%)
  • Analytical chemistry (20.00%)
  • Meteorite (18.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1986-2016)?

  • Meteorite (18.52%)
  • Mineralogy (31.11%)
  • Analytical chemistry (20.00%)

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

Samuel Epstein mainly investigates Meteorite, Mineralogy, Analytical chemistry, Murchison meteorite and Hydrogen. His study in the fields of Chondrite under the domain of Meteorite overlaps with other disciplines such as Materials science. His studies deal with areas such as Igneous rock, Isotopes of carbon, Helium, Chemical composition and Carbon dioxide as well as Mineralogy.

He has researched Analytical chemistry in several fields, including Fractionation and Isotope fractionation. His study in Fractionation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quartz and Oxygen. Samuel Epstein interconnects Atmosphere, Geochemistry, Carbon and Isotope analysis in the investigation of issues within Hydrogen.

Between 1986 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Water, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen isotopes in glasses from the ca. 1340 A.D. eruption of the Mono Craters, California: Constraints on degassing phenomena and initial volatile content (225 citations)
  • Carbon isotopes of trees from arid environments and implications for reconstructing atmospheric CO2 concentration (218 citations)
  • Water on Mars : clues from deuterium/hydrogen and water contents of hydrous phases in SNC meteorites (218 citations)

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

  • Oxygen
  • Organic chemistry
  • Hydrogen

Meteorite, Murchison meteorite, Mineralogy, Environmental science and Chondrite are his primary areas of study. His Meteorite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hydrogen, Abiogenesis, Martian, Nakhlite and Carbon. His Mineralogy research incorporates themes from Volcano, Igneous rock, Isotopes of argon, Kimberlite and Nucleogenic.

His Volcano study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Water vapor and Analytical chemistry. His work carried out in the field of Atmosphere of Mars brings together such families of science as Geochemistry and Oxygen. As a part of the same scientific family, Samuel Epstein mostly works in the field of Oxygen, focusing on Isotopes of carbon and, on occasion, Fractionation.
