Samuel M. Clegg mostly deals with Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Gale crater, Geochemistry and Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. His Mars Exploration Program study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mineralogy, Remote sensing and Raman spectroscopy. His study in the fields of Martian and Venus under the domain of Astrobiology overlaps with other disciplines such as Biogeosciences.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Sedimentary rock and Aeolian processes in addition to Martian. His study focuses on the intersection of Geochemistry and fields such as Fluvial with connections in the field of Fluorite, Outcrop and Lithification. His Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy research includes themes of Optoelectronics and Analytical chemistry.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Recalibration of the Mars Science Laboratory ChemCam instrument with an expanded geochemical database (77 citations)
  • Chemistry of diagenetic features analyzed by ChemCam at Pahrump Hills, Gale crater, Mars (64 citations)
  • Diagenetic silica enrichment and late‐stage groundwater activity in Gale crater, Mars (57 citations)

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

  • Hydrogen
  • Statistics
  • Optics

Samuel M. Clegg spends much of his time researching Mars Exploration Program, Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Geochemistry, Spectroscopy and Mineralogy. His work on Gale crater as part of general Mars Exploration Program study is frequently linked to Environmental science, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study in Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oxide, Uranium dioxide and Analytical chemistry.

His work on Diagenesis and Clastic rock as part of general Geochemistry study is frequently connected to Late stage, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Spectroscopy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Wavelength, Telescope, Detector, Optics and Spectrometer. His Mineralogy research incorporates themes from Sulfate, Carbonate, Martian surface and Sulfur.
