Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Fault
  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, North Anatolian Fault, Fault, Paleontology and Sinistral and dextral. He studies Strike-slip tectonics which is a part of Seismology. His North Anatolian Fault study is associated with Tectonics.

His work on Lithosphere and Seismogenic layer as part of general Tectonics study is frequently linked to Kinematics, bridging the gap between disciplines. Bertrand Meyer has included themes like Quartz, Last Glacial Maximum and Holocene climatic optimum in his Fault study. The various areas that he examines in his Crust study include Subduction, Shear zone, Plate tectonics and Thrust fault.

His most cited work include:

  • Oblique Stepwise Rise and Growth of the Tibet Plateau (2171 citations)
  • Crustal thickening in Gansu‐Qinghai, lithospheric mantle subduction, and oblique, strike‐slip controlled growth of the Tibet plateau (698 citations)
  • Quaternary evolution of the Corinth Rift and its implications for the Late Cenozoic evolution of the Aegean (541 citations)

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

Bertrand Meyer mostly deals with Seismology, Fault, Tectonics, North Anatolian Fault and Geodesy. His research ties Submarine pipeline and Seismology together. His studies in Fault integrate themes in fields like Quaternary and Plate tectonics.

In the field of Tectonics, his study on Décollement and Rift overlaps with subjects such as Displacement field and Kinematics. The concepts of his North Anatolian Fault study are interwoven with issues in Structural basin, Sinistral and dextral, Geochemistry, Seismogenic layer and Lithosphere. As part of one scientific family, Bertrand Meyer deals mainly with the area of Lithosphere, narrowing it down to issues related to the Subduction, and often Mantle and Shear zone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (66.23%)
  • Fault (36.36%)
  • Tectonics (33.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2017)?

  • North Anatolian Fault (32.47%)
  • Paleontology (11.69%)
  • Seismology (66.23%)

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

Bertrand Meyer spends much of his time researching North Anatolian Fault, Paleontology, Seismology, Submarine pipeline and Tectonics. His North Anatolian Fault research incorporates themes from Geochemistry and Holocene. His Chronology, Facies and Subaerial study, which is part of a larger body of work in Paleontology, is frequently linked to Palaeogeography and Mediterranean sea, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Fault, Earthquake prediction and Induced seismicity investigations are all subjects of Seismology research. As part of his studies on Fault, he often connects relevant subjects like Plate tectonics. His Submarine pipeline study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sill and Fluvial.

Between 2006 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Fault interactions in the Sea of Marmara pull-apart (North Anatolian Fault): earthquake clustering and propagating earthquake sequences (80 citations)
  • Late Quaternary co-seismic sedimentation in the Sea of Marmara's deep basins (79 citations)
  • Segmentation and kinematics of the North America-Caribbean plate boundary offshore Hispaniola (25 citations)

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

  • Fault
  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock

Bertrand Meyer focuses on Seismology, Fault, Tectonics, Quaternary and North Anatolian Fault. His work in the fields of Seismology, such as Seismic gap, Seismotectonics and Earthquake prediction, intersects with other areas such as Submarine and Current. The Fault study combines topics in areas such as Induced seismicity, Submarine pipeline and Plate tectonics.

His Quaternary study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geomorphology, Geochemistry, Holocene and Terrigenous sediment. His research in North Anatolian Fault intersects with topics in Sedimentary rock, Structural basin and Siliciclastic.
