Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Basalt

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mars Exploration Program, Impact crater, Astrobiology, Geochemistry and CRISM. Scott L. Murchie combines subjects such as Orbiter and Mineralogy with his study of Mars Exploration Program. His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Volcano, Geophysics, Earth science, Volcanism and Landform.

In general Astrobiology study, his work on Asteroid often relates to the realm of Context, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geomorphology and Meridiani Planum. His studies in CRISM integrate themes in fields like Martian surface, Clay minerals, Remote sensing and Composition of Mars.

His most cited work include:

  • Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) (693 citations)
  • Hydrated silicate minerals on Mars observed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter CRISM instrument (525 citations)
  • Subsurface water and clay mineral formation during the early history of Mars (478 citations)

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

Scott L. Murchie focuses on Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, CRISM, Mercury and Geochemistry. His research integrates issues of Orbiter and Mineralogy in his study of Mars Exploration Program. His research brings together the fields of Astronomy and Astrobiology.

As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of CRISM, narrowing it down to issues related to the Remote sensing, and often Spacecraft, Optics and Spectrometer. His Mercury study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry, Volcanism, Planet and Reflectivity. The concepts of his Geochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Structural basin, Impact crater and Stratigraphy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (34.99%)
  • Astrobiology (28.09%)
  • CRISM (26.32%)

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

  • Mars Exploration Program (34.99%)
  • Mercury (21.35%)
  • CRISM (26.32%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Mars Exploration Program, Mercury, CRISM, Astrobiology and Mineralogy. The various areas that Scott L. Murchie examines in his Mars Exploration Program study include Geochemistry and Orbiter. His work deals with themes such as Structural basin, Impact crater and Tharsis, which intersect with Geochemistry.

His CRISM research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Atmosphere of Mars, Atmospheric sciences, Mineral and Mesosphere. His Astrobiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Solar physics and Jovian. His work carried out in the field of Mineralogy brings together such families of science as Spectral line and Alunite.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Spectral evidence for hydrated salts in recurring slope lineae on Mars (338 citations)
  • Orbital evidence for more widespread carbonate‐bearing rocks on Mars (71 citations)
  • Remote sensing evidence for an ancient carbon-bearing crust on Mercury (60 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Solar System

His main research concerns Mercury, Mars Exploration Program, Mineralogy, Impact crater and CRISM. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Earth science, Geochemistry, Crust, Environmental chemistry and Remote sensing. His Mars Exploration Program study results in a more complete grasp of Astrobiology.

His research in Mineralogy intersects with topics in Reflectivity, Geomorphology and Alunite. His Impact crater study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock, Noachian and Meridiani Planum. His research integrates issues of Albedo and Atmosphere of Mars in his study of CRISM.
