Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Statistics

His primary areas of investigation include Mineralogy, Neutron, Spectrometer, Thorium and Neutron temperature. Sylvestre Maurice applies his multidisciplinary studies on Mineralogy and Hydrogen in his research. His studies deal with areas such as Planetary Data System and Gamma ray as well as Neutron.

The Thorium study combines topics in areas such as KREEP and Gamma spectroscopy. His Neutron temperature research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Atmosphere, Neutron flux and Surface water. His Soil water research incorporates themes from Permafrost, Martian surface, Water vapor and Mars Exploration Program.

His most cited work include:

  • Thorium abundances on the lunar surface (162 citations)
  • Evidence for water ice near Mercury's north pole from MESSENGER Neutron Spectrometer measurements. (141 citations)
  • Small‐area thorium features on the lunar surface (140 citations)

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

His main research concerns Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Gale crater, Mineralogy and Geochemistry. His work in the fields of Martian overlaps with other areas such as Hydrogen. His Mineralogy research includes themes of Thorium, Impact crater, Neutron, Soil water and Spectroscopy.

His Neutron study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gamma ray and Regolith. He combines subjects such as Calibration and Spectrometer with his study of Remote sensing. His Spectrometer research is classified as research in Optics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (37.86%)
  • Astrobiology (27.46%)
  • Gale crater (24.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (37.86%)
  • Gale crater (24.28%)
  • Astrobiology (27.46%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mars Exploration Program, Gale crater, Astrobiology, Geochemistry and Curiosity rover. His Mars Exploration Program study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bedrock, Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and Mineralogy. He performs multidisciplinary study in Mineralogy and Mineral in his work.

His Gale crater research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chondrite, Meteorite, Igneous rock and Weathering. The Martian and Regolith research Sylvestre Maurice does as part of his general Astrobiology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Sulfur, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His studies in Martian integrate themes in fields like Ground truth and Remote sensing.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Diagenetic silica enrichment and late‐stage groundwater activity in Gale crater, Mars (57 citations)
  • Chapter 11 - The NASA Mars 2020 Rover Mission and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life (44 citations)
  • Characterization of LIBS emission lines for the identification of chlorides, carbonates, and sulfates in salt/basalt mixtures for the application to MSL ChemCam data (31 citations)
