Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Basalt
  • Geochemistry

Scott M. McLennan mostly deals with Geochemistry, Sedimentary rock, Mars Exploration Program, Mineralogy and Continental crust. His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Impact crater and Meridiani Planum. His research integrates issues of Soil water, Martian surface and Composition of Mars in his study of Mineralogy.

The Continental crust study combines topics in areas such as Continental arc, Loess and Oceanic crust. His Continental arc study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Primitive mantle and Isostasy. He works mostly in the field of Oceanic crust, limiting it down to concerns involving Earth science and, occasionally, Craton.

His most cited work include:

  • The continental crust: Its composition and evolution (10102 citations)
  • The geochemical evolution of the continental crust (2738 citations)
  • Rare earth elements in sedimentary rocks; influence of provenance and sedimentary processes (2092 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Mars Exploration Program, Sedimentary rock, Astrobiology and Mineralogy. His Geochemistry study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Meridiani Planum. His Mars Exploration Program research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Impact crater and Basalt.

His Sedimentary rock research includes themes of Gale crater and Concretion. His Mineralogy study incorporates themes from Soil water, Rocknest, Composition of Mars and Weathering. Scott M. McLennan works in the field of Crust, focusing on Continental crust in particular.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (46.36%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (42.73%)
  • Sedimentary rock (27.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (42.73%)
  • Sedimentary rock (27.58%)
  • Astrobiology (24.55%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mars Exploration Program, Sedimentary rock, Astrobiology, Martian and Geochemistry. His Mars Exploration Program research incorporates elements of Geophysics and Raman spectroscopy. His research in Sedimentary rock intersects with topics in Earth history, Resampling, Process and Data science.

Scott M. McLennan combines subjects such as Perchlorate and Bedrock with his study of Martian. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gale crater, Curiosity rover and Hesperian. His Martian surface research includes elements of Planetary protection and Earth science.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Initial results from the InSight mission on Mars (77 citations)
  • Chemical alteration of fine-grained sedimentary rocks at Gale crater (24 citations)
  • The Sedimentary Cycle on Early Mars (23 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Basalt
  • Oxygen

Scott M. McLennan spends much of his time researching Mars Exploration Program, Exploration of Mars, Sample, Sedimentary rock and Geochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Spectrometer, Raman spectroscopy, Laser and Optics, which intersect with Mars Exploration Program. His Exploration of Mars study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Martian and Mission control center.

His Martian research integrates issues from Geologic record, Planetary protection and Earth science. His Sedimentary rock research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Diagenesis, Sedimentology, Mafic, Weathering and Stratigraphy. The concepts of his Geochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Bay, Curiosity rover, Dissolution, Plagioclase and Gale crater.
