Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Composite material
Fault
Sedimentary rock

His scientific interests lie mostly in Fault, Seismology, Aseismic creep, Petrology and Fault gouge. As part of one scientific family, Brett M. Carpenter deals mainly with the area of Fault, narrowing it down to issues related to the Lithology, and often Protolith and Shear zone. His research investigates the link between Seismology and topics such as Slip that cross with problems in Fluid dynamics.

His study in Aseismic creep is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Earthquake rupture and Tectonics. His Petrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cataclastic rock and Cataclasite. His Fault gouge research integrates issues from Shear, Outcrop and Talc.

His most cited work include:

Weakness of the San Andreas Fault revealed by samples from the active fault zone (194 citations)
Drilling reveals fluid control on architecture and rupture of the Alpine fault, New Zealand (113 citations)
Physical properties of surface outcrop cataclastic fault rocks, Alpine Fault, New Zealand (65 citations)

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

Brett M. Carpenter mainly focuses on Seismology, Slip, Fault, Petrology and Geotechnical engineering. A large part of his Slip studies is devoted to Fault gouge. Brett M. Carpenter has researched Fault in several fields, including Wall rock, Crust, Lithology and Borehole.

His Petrology research includes themes of Petrophysics, Permeability, Core and Cataclasite. The various areas that Brett M. Carpenter examines in his Geotechnical engineering study include Aseismic creep, Tectonophysics, Brittleness, Composite material and Mineral physics. His Aseismic creep research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Earthquake rupture and Quartz.

He most often published in these fields:

Seismology (49.59%)
Slip (53.66%)
Fault (37.40%)

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

Basement (8.13%)
Petrology (27.64%)
Seismology (49.59%)

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

Basement, Petrology, Seismology, Slip and Induced seismicity are his primary areas of study. His Basement study also includes

Sedimentary rock which is related to area like Fault and Fracture,
Geochemistry that connect with fields like Subduction. His work in Petrology covers topics such as Intraplate earthquake which are related to areas like Igneous rock.

His work in the fields of Tectonics and Seismic interpretation overlaps with other areas such as Special section and Variance. His Slip research incorporates themes from Creep, Geotechnical engineering and Mechanics, Shear stress. His Geotechnical engineering research incorporates elements of Mineral physics and Fault gouge.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Beyond Byerlee friction, weak faults and implications for slip behavior. (25 citations)
Frictional Behavior of Input Sediments to the Hikurangi Trench, New Zealand (18 citations)
The susceptibility of Oklahoma’s basement to seismic reactivation (14 citations)

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

Composite material
Sedimentary rock
Fault

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Slip, Fault, Mechanics and Stress field. Specifically, his work in Seismology is concerned with the study of Induced seismicity. His Slip research includes elements of Shear, Shear stress and Creep.

His research in Creep intersects with topics in Rock types, Tectonics, Softening and Crust. His work carried out in the field of Fault brings together such families of science as Structural basin, Basement, Fluid migration and Seismic attribute. His Stress field study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Damage zone, Pore water pressure and Earthquake hazard.
