Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Statistics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Geophysics, Seismic tomography, Seismic wave and Mantle. His study on Seismology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Crust. His Geophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Asthenosphere, Body waves, Earth structure, Attenuation and Shear waves.

His Seismic tomography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Shear and Transition zone. His work deals with themes such as Mathematical analysis, Wave propagation, Surface wave, Seismic anisotropy and Seismogram, which intersect with Seismic wave. His Mantle research incorporates themes from Low-velocity zone and Seismic refraction.

His most cited work include:

  • Traveltimes for global earthquake location and phase identification (2516 citations)
  • Constraints on seismic velocities in the Earth from traveltimes (2161 citations)
  • Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media (1095 citations)

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

His main research concerns Seismology, Geophysics, Lithosphere, Crust and Mantle. Many of his studies on Seismology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Seismic tomography. The Seismic tomography study combines topics in areas such as Seismic noise, Ambient noise level and Surface wave.

His Geophysics research incorporates elements of Wave propagation, Asthenosphere and Anisotropy. He has included themes like Discontinuity, Classification of discontinuities and Plate tectonics in his Lithosphere study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including S-wave and Seismic wave.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Crustal architecture of the Capricorn Orogen, Western Australia and associated metallogeny (94 citations)
  • A review of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake (Mw 9.0): Large-scale rupture across heterogeneous plate coupling (93 citations)
  • Australian Seismological Reference Model (AuSREM): mantle component (78 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Statistics

Brian Kennett spends much of his time researching Seismology, Geophysics, Crust, Lithosphere and Mantle. His study in Seismic tomography extends to Seismology with its themes. Brian Kennett studies Geophysics, focusing on Seismic wave in particular.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Range and Transect in addition to Crust. His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Computational seismology, Classification of discontinuities and Plate tectonics. His Mantle research includes elements of Geothermal gradient, Magnetism and Ferromagnetism.
