Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Fault
  • Tectonics

His primary areas of study are Fault, Seismology, Normal fault, Transform fault and Geotechnical engineering. Conrad Childs integrates Fault with Kinematics in his research. Conrad Childs interconnects Geometric modeling, Horizon and Shear stress in the investigation of issues within Seismology.

His work deals with themes such as Fault slip, Closed loop, Brittleness, Amplitude and Reflection, which intersect with Normal fault. His Transform fault research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in 3d geometry and Fault scarp. The concepts of his Geotechnical engineering study are interwoven with issues in Ellipse, Aspect ratio, Free surface and Curvature.

His most cited work include:

  • Fault overlap zones within developing normal fault systems (294 citations)
  • Formation of segmented normal faults: a 3-D perspective (281 citations)
  • A geometric model of fault zone and fault rock thickness variations (280 citations)

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

Fault, Seismology, Petrology, Geotechnical engineering and Outcrop are his primary areas of study. His work on Growth fault and Transform fault as part of general Fault study is frequently linked to Relay and Kinematics, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His studies deal with areas such as Reflection and Horizon as well as Seismology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Volcanism, Tectonics, Oil shale, Permeability and Gemology in addition to Petrology. His study in Geotechnical engineering is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Drag and Capillary action. Shear is closely connected to Silt in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Outcrop.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fault (53.78%)
  • Seismology (30.25%)
  • Petrology (21.01%)

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

  • Fault (53.78%)
  • Structural basin (9.24%)
  • Seismology (30.25%)

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

Conrad Childs mostly deals with Fault, Structural basin, Seismology, Outcrop and Rift. Conrad Childs merges Fault with Elevation in his research. Conrad Childs has included themes like Sedimentary rock, Fold and Stress field in his Structural basin study.

His studies in Seismology integrate themes in fields like Slip, Range and Segmentation. His Slip research incorporates elements of Normal fault and Geologic record. His Outcrop research focuses on Silt and how it relates to Cataclastic rock, Fault gouge, Protolith, Shear and Late Miocene.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The three-dimensional geometry of relay zones within segmented normal faults (10 citations)
  • The growth of faults (7 citations)
  • The nature and origin of bed-parallel slip in Kardia Mine, Ptolemais Basin, Greece (6 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Tectonics
  • Composite material

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Structural basin, Fault, Seismology, Slip and Petrology. His work on Rift and Neogene as part of his general Structural basin study is frequently connected to Layering, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His study ties his expertise on Sedimentary basin together with the subject of Fault.

His Seismology research includes elements of Outcrop, Segmentation and Reflection. His work in Slip covers topics such as Normal fault which are related to areas like Geologic record, Fault slip, Extensional definition and Perpendicular. His study in the field of Fold is also linked to topics like Molasse.
