Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Geophysics
  • Geometry

Beno Gutenberg spends much of his time researching Seismology, Amplitude, Earth, Surface wave and Seismometer. His Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Earthquake magnitude and Geodesy. His research in Amplitude focuses on subjects like Reflection, which are connected to Refraction, Seismogram and Tangent.

In Earth, Beno Gutenberg works on issues like Induced seismicity, which are connected to Geophysics, Period and Gutenberg–Richter law. The various areas that Beno Gutenberg examines in his Surface wave study include Magnitude and Surface wave magnitude. Beno Gutenberg works mostly in the field of Seismometer, limiting it down to topics relating to Richter magnitude scale and, in certain cases, Body wave magnitude.

His most cited work include:

  • Frequency of earthquakes in California (2366 citations)
  • Seismicity of the Earth and Associated Phenomena (1421 citations)
  • Earthquake magnitude, intensity, energy, and acceleration (884 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Geophysics, Amplitude, Seismogram and Geodesy. His research on Seismology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Surface wave. His research investigates the connection between Geophysics and topics such as Earth that intersect with issues in Induced seismicity.

His Amplitude research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Reflection, Magnitude, Geometry and Mantle. His study looks at the relationship between Seismometer and topics such as Richter magnitude scale, which overlap with Body wave magnitude and Earthquake magnitude. The study incorporates disciplines such as Core and Transition zone in addition to Inner core.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (54.96%)
  • Geophysics (26.72%)
  • Amplitude (18.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1952-2012)?

  • Seismology (54.96%)
  • Geophysics (26.72%)
  • Mantle (6.87%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Geophysics, Mantle, Amplitude and Seismometer. His research in Seismology tackles topics such as Earthquake magnitude which are related to areas like Epicenter. His work on Inner core, Crust, Structure of the Earth and Outer core as part of general Geophysics study is frequently linked to Earth, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Mantle course of study focuses on Geodesy and Mechanics. Beno Gutenberg interconnects Geometry and Body waves in the investigation of issues within Amplitude. His Seismometer study incorporates themes from Surface wave and Richter magnitude scale.

Between 1952 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Magnitude and energy of earthquakes (766 citations)
  • Seismicity Of The Earth (705 citations)
  • Earthquake magnitude, intensity, energy, and acceleration(Second paper) (644 citations)

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

  • Seismology
  • Geophysics
  • Geometry

Beno Gutenberg mainly focuses on Seismology, Seismometer, Earth, Earthquake magnitude and Surface wave. Lithosphere, Gabbro and Microseism are among the areas of Seismology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His research in Seismometer intersects with topics in Alluvium and Seismic wave.

In his study, Period and Geophysics is inextricably linked to Induced seismicity, which falls within the broad field of Earth. His work deals with themes such as Body waves and Richter magnitude scale, which intersect with Earthquake magnitude. The Surface wave study combines topics in areas such as Amplitude, Magnitude and Shock.
