S. M. Clegg's research centers on using laser-based instruments, especially laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), to study the surface geology and chemistry of Mars. Much of this work supports NASA rover missions (Curiosity's ChemCam and Perseverance's SuperCam), analyzing rock and soil composition, mineral formation, and evidence of past water activity in locations like Gale Crater and Jezero Crater. A smaller portion of recent output involves unrelated topics such as instrumented-bicycle studies and digital innovation research, which appear outside the main planetary science focus.
Publication output has been fairly steady over the past decade, averaging around 17 papers per year in the last five years, with a slight decline in 2025 that may reflect incomplete recent indexing.
