Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Subduction, Mud volcano, Geomorphology and Accretionary wedge. The study of Seismology is intertwined with the study of Slip in a number of ways. His Subduction research includes elements of Diagenesis, Petrology, Plate tectonics and Décollement.

The subject of his Mud volcano research is within the realm of Geochemistry. His Geomorphology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Pore water pressure. His studies deal with areas such as Sedimentary rock and Forearc as well as Accretionary wedge.

His most cited work include:

  • SIGNIFICANCE OF MUD VOLCANISM (584 citations)
  • Microbial methane turnover at mud volcanoes of the Gulf of Cadiz (158 citations)
  • Origin and evolution of a splay fault in the Nankai accretionary wedge (148 citations)

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

Seismology, Pore water pressure, Geomorphology, Geotechnical engineering and Subduction are his primary areas of study. His Seismology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Slip and Borehole. As a part of the same scientific family, Achim J Kopf mostly works in the field of Geomorphology, focusing on Geochemistry and, on occasion, Forearc.

In general Geotechnical engineering study, his work on Cohesion often relates to the realm of Penetrometer, thereby connecting several areas of interest. The Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Submarine pipeline, Petrology and Décollement. His research in Petrology tackles topics such as Mud volcano which are related to areas like Volcanism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (25.08%)
  • Pore water pressure (18.65%)
  • Geomorphology (19.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (15.29%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (18.96%)
  • Subduction (17.13%)

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

His main research concerns Geochemistry, Geotechnical engineering, Subduction, Petrology and Seismology. Many of his research projects under Geochemistry are closely connected to Mass transport with Mass transport, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work on Slope stability and Submarine pipeline as part of general Geotechnical engineering study is frequently linked to Penetrometer and Anisotropy, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His studies in Subduction integrate themes in fields like Slip, Assemblage, Clay minerals and Shearing. His work on Fault and Nankai trough as part of general Seismology study is frequently linked to Passive margin, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work in Fault covers topics such as Accretionary wedge which are related to areas like Detritus.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Megathrust earthquake drives drastic organic carbon supply to the hadal trench. (27 citations)
  • Tectonic, diapiric and sedimentary chaotic rocks of the Rakhine coast, western Myanmar (11 citations)
  • Lithologic control of frictional strength variations in subduction zone sediment inputs (7 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics
  • Erosion

Achim J Kopf mainly focuses on Subduction, Seismology, Geochemistry, Petrology and Accretionary wedge. His Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Slip, Consolidation and Sediment, Detritus. His work on Fault, Cross-cutting relationships and Nankai trough as part of general Seismology research is frequently linked to Long term monitoring, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His work on Mud volcano, Lithology and Sedimentary rock is typically connected to Mass transport as part of general Geochemistry study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Petrology course of study focuses on Megathrust earthquake and Trench, Hadal zone and Aftershock. His Accretionary wedge research includes themes of Mantle, Radiogenic nuclide, Isotopes of helium, Mbsf and Fluid dynamics.
