Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Geometry

Christopher H. Scholz spends much of his time researching Seismology, Slip, Geotechnical engineering, Geometry and Scaling. His studies in Induced seismicity, Plate tectonics, Subduction, Intraplate earthquake and Tectonics are all subfields of Seismology research. His Slip study which covers Creep that intersects with Indentation, Instability, Asperity, Stress corrosion cracking and Brittle fracture.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stress, Fracture mechanics, Compression, Brittleness and Shear. His Geometry research includes themes of Joint and Surface finish. The concepts of his Scaling study are interwoven with issues in Fractal dimension, Fractal and Fault.

His most cited work include:

  • The Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting (3383 citations)
  • Earthquakes and friction laws (1330 citations)
  • Dilatancy in the Fracture of Crystalline Rocks (1180 citations)

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

Christopher H. Scholz mainly investigates Seismology, Slip, Fault, Geotechnical engineering and Tectonics. His study in Induced seismicity, Subduction, Plate tectonics, Intraplate earthquake and Aftershock are all subfields of Seismology. His study in the fields of Episodic tremor and slip and Accretionary wedge under the domain of Subduction overlaps with other disciplines such as Far East.

His Slip research incorporates themes from Creep, Instability and Surface roughness. He interconnects Brittleness, Geometry, Scaling and Displacement in the investigation of issues within Fault. His work deals with themes such as Shear stress, Stress, Fracture mechanics, Shear and Composite material, which intersect with Geotechnical engineering.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (61.19%)
  • Slip (29.85%)
  • Fault (22.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2021)?

  • Seismology (61.19%)
  • Slip (29.85%)
  • Plate tectonics (11.94%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Slip, Plate tectonics, Subduction and Fault. His Tectonics, Induced seismicity and Eurasian Plate study in the realm of Seismology connects with subjects such as Critical value. His Slip study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geotechnical engineering, Seismic wave, Shear zone and Shear stress.

His studies in Geotechnical engineering integrate themes in fields like Elastic-rebound theory and Advection. Christopher H. Scholz works mostly in the field of Plate tectonics, limiting it down to topics relating to Episodic tremor and slip and, in certain cases, Holocene and Seismic moment. His research investigates the connection between Fault and topics such as Shear that intersect with issues in Embrittlement, Strain rate, Square root and Brittleness.

Between 2002 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Microfractures: A review (169 citations)
  • On the stress dependence of the earthquake b value (158 citations)
  • The seismic coupling of subduction zones revisited (119 citations)

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

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Geometry

His main research concerns Seismology, Plate tectonics, Slip, Subduction and Mineralogy. His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fluid dynamics and Geophysics. His work in Plate tectonics addresses subjects such as Induced seismicity, which are connected to disciplines such as Deformation, Episodic tremor and slip and Range.

His Slip research integrates issues from Fissure, Wall rock, Fracture mechanics, Craquelure and Inelastic deformation. His Subduction research incorporates elements of Geodesy, Compression, Transition zone and Deformation. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Mineralogy, Fracture, Fluid inclusions, Petrology and Lithosphere is strongly linked to Stress.
