What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Seismology (74.31%)
  • Aftershock (32.11%)
  • Seismic hazard (11.01%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Aftershock, Seismic hazard, Induced seismicity and Sequence. Andrew J. Michael performs multidisciplinary study in Seismology and Hazard in his work. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Aftershock, Sequence is strongly linked to Magnitude.

As part of the same scientific family, Andrew J. Michael usually focuses on Seismic hazard, concentrating on Geological survey and intersecting with Tectonics. Andrew J. Michael works on Induced seismicity which deals in particular with Earthquake forecasting. His work focuses on many connections between Earthquake rupture and other disciplines, such as Earthquake forecast, that overlap with his field of interest in Data mining.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • 2017 One‐Year Seismic‐Hazard Forecast for the Central and Eastern United States from Induced and Natural Earthquakes (69 citations)
  • 2016 one-year seismic hazard forecast for the Central and Eastern United States from induced and natural earthquakes (65 citations)
  • A Spatiotemporal Clustering Model for the Third Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF3-ETAS): Toward an Operational Earthquake Forecast (51 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Seismology
  • Geometry

His main research concerns Seismology, Seismic hazard, Induced seismicity, Aftershock and Natural. Seismology is integrated with Hazard and Fluid pressure in his research. His work in Seismic hazard addresses subjects such as Geological survey, which are connected to disciplines such as Magnitude and Tectonics.

His study in Induced seismicity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geothermal gradient and Earthquake rupture. His Earthquake rupture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Spatio temporal clustering, Probabilistic forecasting, Statistical seismology and Earthquake forecast. The concepts of his Aftershock study are interwoven with issues in Geothermal energy and Earthquake forecasting.
