Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Plate tectonics
  • Igneous rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Transpression, Lineation, Shear zone and Geometry. Seismology and Slip are commonly linked in his work. His Transpression study incorporates themes from Transtension, Kinematics and Lithosphere.

Basil Tikoff usually deals with Lineation and limits it to topics linked to Petrology and Vertical displacement, Shearing, Laccolith and Deformation. His Shear zone study incorporates themes from Shear and Sinistral and dextral. His Geometry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Simple shear, Deformation and Geodesy.

His most cited work include:

  • Strain modeling of displacement-field partitioning in transpressional orogens (437 citations)
  • The deformation matrix for simultaneous simple shearing, pure shearing and volume change, and its application to transpression-transtension tectonics (362 citations)
  • Oblique plate motion and continental tectonics (281 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Geochemistry, Shear zone, Petrology and Tectonics. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Seismology, focusing on Deformation and, on occasion, Geometry. His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Batholith, Magmatism and Pluton.

His research integrates issues of Shear, Lineation and Geomorphology in his study of Shear zone. Basil Tikoff combines subjects such as Laccolith, Magma, Mantle and Crust with his study of Petrology. His Tectonics research is under the purview of Paleontology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (27.27%)
  • Geochemistry (20.16%)
  • Shear zone (20.16%)

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

  • Seismology (27.27%)
  • Petrology (16.60%)
  • Geochemistry (20.16%)

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

Basil Tikoff spends much of his time researching Seismology, Petrology, Geochemistry, Tectonics and Deformation. Basil Tikoff regularly links together related areas like Displacement field in his Seismology studies. His studies deal with areas such as Shear zone, Mantle and Silicic as well as Petrology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Shear, Paleoarchean, Peninsula and Titanite in addition to Shear zone. His work on Pluton and Suture is typically connected to Rhyolite as part of general Tectonics study, connecting several disciplines of science. His work in Deformation tackles topics such as Fault which are related to areas like Latitude and Shore.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Intelligent systems for geosciences: an essential research agenda (28 citations)
  • Geomorphic expression of rapid Holocene silicic magma reservoir growth beneath Laguna del Maule, Chile. (22 citations)
  • GPS constraints on deformation in northern Central America from 1999 to 2017, Part 2: Block rotations and fault slip rates, fault locking and distributed deformation (11 citations)

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

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Plate tectonics
  • Classical mechanics

Petrology, Seismology, Mantle, Deformation and Silicic are his primary areas of study. His work in the fields of Petrology, such as Overprinting, intersects with other areas such as Rhyolite. His study of Rhyolite brings together topics like Pluton and Tectonics.

His Seismology research includes elements of Field and Chirp. The Deformation study which covers Fault that intersects with Shore and Latitude. His Silicic research incorporates themes from Geologic time scale, Magma and Volcanology.
