Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geochemistry
  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock

Stephen J. Mojzsis mainly investigates Geochemistry, Archean, Zircon, Hadean and Precambrian. His work on Geochemistry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Mineralogy. His research investigates the connection between Zircon and topics such as Gneiss that intersect with issues in Granulite.

His Hadean research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Astrobiology and Continental crust. The various areas that he examines in his Jack Hills study include Isotopes of oxygen and Acasta Gneiss. His Crust research incorporates themes from Biosphere, Solar System, Early Earth, Late Heavy Bombardment and Circumstellar habitable zone.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence for life on Earth before 3,800 million years ago. (944 citations)
  • Oxygen-isotope Evidence From Ancient Zircons for Liquid Water at the Earth's Surface 4,300 Myr Ago (586 citations)
  • Oxygen-isotope Evidence From Ancient Zircons for Liquid Water at the Earth's Surface 4,300 Myr Ago (586 citations)

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

Stephen J. Mojzsis mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Astrobiology, Hadean, Zircon and Archean. His Astrobiology study incorporates themes from Terrestrial planet and Planet. Stephen J. Mojzsis interconnects Felsic, Continental crust and Late Heavy Bombardment in the investigation of issues within Hadean.

Jack Hills is the focus of his Zircon research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sedimentary rock, Metamorphic rock, Precambrian and Fold in addition to Archean. His work deals with themes such as Seawater, Mineralogy and Anoxic waters, which intersect with Precambrian.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (83.13%)
  • Astrobiology (53.09%)
  • Hadean (41.15%)

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

  • Astrobiology (53.09%)
  • Planet (20.58%)
  • Geochemistry (83.13%)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrobiology, Planet, Geochemistry, Hadean and Planetesimal. His Astrobiology research incorporates elements of Exoplanet, Atmosphere and Terrestrial planet. As part of his studies on Geochemistry, Stephen J. Mojzsis often connects relevant areas like Sedimentary structures.

His study on Hadean is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Early Earth. His Geochronology research focuses on Gneiss and how it relates to Mafic, Biotite, Metamorphism and Protolith. His Archean study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fold and Rutile.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Onset of Giant Planet Migration before 4480 Million Years Ago (40 citations)
  • Onset of Giant Planet Migration before 4480 Million Years Ago (40 citations)
  • The partitioning of the inner and outer Solar System by a structured protoplanetary disk (24 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Basalt
  • Sedimentary rock

Stephen J. Mojzsis spends much of his time researching Astrobiology, Planet, Planetesimal, Solar System and Abiogenesis. Astrobiology and Hadean are frequently intertwined in his study. When carried out as part of a general Planet research project, his work on Terrestrial planet is frequently linked to work in Giant planet, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His Abiogenesis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Earth, Atmosphere and Biosphere. His Martian research includes themes of Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics, Mantle and Meteorite. His work carried out in the field of Accretion brings together such families of science as Protoplanetary disk and Jupiter, Jovian.
