The Seismic anisotropy research Colin M. Sayers does as part of his general Anisotropy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Distribution function, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His study in Mineralogy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Azimuth, Characterization, Transverse isotropy, Fracture and Reflection.
His work on Porous medium, Shear waves and Porosity as part of his general Composite material study is frequently connected to Context, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
The concepts of his Ultrasonic sensor study are interwoven with issues in Neutron diffraction, Optics and Austenite.
As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Geometry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Spherical harmonics, and often Vertical seismic profile.
His most cited work include:
- Seismic anisotropy of fractured rock (637 citations)
- Microcrack-induced elastic wave anisotropy of brittle rocks (439 citations)
- A simple technique for finding effective elastic constants of cracked solids for arbitrary crack orientation statistics (197 citations)
