2011 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Oceanography

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Plate tectonics, Geodesy, North American Plate and Pacific Plate. His Seismology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Triple junction. Charles DeMets interconnects Convergent boundary, Seafloor spreading, Clockwise and Magnetic anomaly in the investigation of issues within Plate tectonics.

His Seafloor spreading research incorporates elements of Lineation and Slab pull. He usually deals with Geodesy and limits it to topics linked to Rotation and Tectonophysics and Lithosphere. His North American Plate research integrates issues from Induced seismicity and Submarine pipeline.

His most cited work include:

  • Current plate motions (3277 citations)
  • Effect of recent revisions to the geomagnetic reversal time scale on estimates of current plate motions (2839 citations)
  • Geologically current plate motions (1461 citations)

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

Charles DeMets mainly focuses on Seismology, Geodesy, Plate tectonics, Subduction and Tectonics. His research on Seismology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Deformation. In the field of Geodesy, his study on Geodetic datum overlaps with subjects such as Motion and High resolution.

His Plate tectonics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Magnetic anomaly, Triple junction, Seafloor spreading, Lithosphere and Ridge. His North American Plate study combines topics in areas such as Induced seismicity, Submarine pipeline and Pacific Plate. His work on Neotectonics as part of general Fault research is frequently linked to Deformation, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (65.91%)
  • Geodesy (29.55%)
  • Plate tectonics (27.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Seismology (65.91%)
  • Geodesy (29.55%)
  • Subduction (20.45%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Geodesy, Subduction, Geodetic datum and High resolution. The concepts of his Seismology study are interwoven with issues in Ridge and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar. His study looks at the relationship between Geodesy and topics such as Tectonophysics, which overlap with Fault slip.

His research integrates issues of Motion, Seafloor spreading and Mantle in his study of Geodetic datum. He works mostly in the field of Slow earthquake, limiting it down to concerns involving Seismogram and, occasionally, Plate tectonics. His study in Deformation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Triple junction, North American Plate and Forearc.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evolution of unrest at Laguna del Maule volcanic field (Chile) from InSAR and GPS measurements, 2003 to 2014 (46 citations)
  • Network-based estimation of time-dependent noise in GPS position time series (40 citations)
  • High-resolution Neogene and Quaternary estimates of Nubia-Eurasia-North America Plate motion (38 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Volcano

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, High resolution, Subduction, Ridge and Geodesy. His study in Shear extends to Seismology with its themes. In his works, Charles DeMets performs multidisciplinary study on High resolution and Motion.

The various areas that Charles DeMets examines in his Subduction study include Seismic gap, Gps data and Coulomb failure stress. His Geodesy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Kalman filter, Statistics and Random walk. His Seismic cycle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Middle america, Fault slip, Fault, Transient deformation and Block.
