N. A. Scudder's research focuses on the mineralogy and geology of Mars, using both instruments on Mars rovers and studies of Earth-based 'analog' sites (like glaciers and volcanic terrains) that resemble ancient Martian environments. This work includes analyzing how ice, water, and volcanic processes alter rock and sediment chemistry, with direct applications to interpreting data from NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission and its Mastcam-Z camera instrument.
Publication output was steady from 2017-2021 (roughly 2-7 papers per year) but has slowed considerably since 2022, with little to no output in recent years.
