Abstract:

A head-count of Australia-based scientists doing research in planetary science was performed in the context of the drafting of the Decadal Plan for Space Sciences [1]. This paper builds on those findings. A search of papers published by Australia-based scientists in the period 2005-2008 was performed. The search returned 91 papers published in international journals by scientists distributed in 7 groups, of which 6 are identified by the affiliations of the researchers, and one, termed Others, is composed of individuals working independently. Correspondence analysis performed on the data returned distinctive associations of the ANU, UNSW and Others groups with the subdisciplines of cosmochemistry, astrobiology and mission data analysis, respectively. These associations are interpreted as indicating clusters of activity that are, or have the potential to grow into, areas of high productivity. A minimalist model to support and organise activity in the potential cluster represented by the Others is presented here.
