Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Seismology
  • Tectonics

Eric Calais mainly focuses on Seismology, Geodetic datum, Global Positioning System, Plate tectonics and Geodesy. His work on Fault, Rift and Active fault is typically connected to Far East as part of general Seismology study, connecting several disciplines of science. The Rift study combines topics in areas such as Geophysics and Volcanology.

His work deals with themes such as Acoustic wave, Meteorology, Radiosonde, Data assimilation and Ionosphere, which intersect with Global Positioning System. His research in Plate tectonics intersects with topics in Eurasian Plate, Subduction and Tectonophysics. Subsidence is closely connected to North American Plate in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Geodesy.

His most cited work include:

  • GPS detection of ionospheric perturbations following the January 17, 1994, Northridge Earthquake (317 citations)
  • Geodetic Measurements of Crustal Deformation in the Western Mediterranean and Europe (271 citations)
  • GPS geodetic constraints on Caribbean-North America plate motion (266 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Geodesy, Global Positioning System, Rift and Tectonics. Plate tectonics, Fault, Lithosphere, Induced seismicity and Subduction are the primary areas of interest in his Seismology study. His Fault research incorporates themes from Submarine pipeline and Seismic hazard.

His Geodesy research is mostly focused on the topic Geodetic datum. Within one scientific family, Eric Calais focuses on topics pertaining to Ionosphere under Global Positioning System, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Acoustic wave and Atmosphere. His Rift research includes themes of Petrology and Geophysics, Crust.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (49.80%)
  • Geodesy (29.08%)
  • Global Positioning System (26.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Seismology (49.80%)
  • Rift (20.72%)
  • Tectonics (19.92%)

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

Eric Calais focuses on Seismology, Rift, Tectonics, Geophysics and Lithosphere. His study in Seismology concentrates on Plate tectonics, Seismic hazard, Fault, Induced seismicity and Intraplate earthquake. His studies in Seismic hazard integrate themes in fields like Structural basin, Global Positioning System and Geodesy.

Eric Calais has included themes like Petrology and Mantle in his Rift study. His Geophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Magma chamber, Bayesian inversion, Seismotectonics, Volcanology and Geodynamics. The concepts of his Lithosphere study are interwoven with issues in Plume and Craton.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Present-day kinematics of the East African Rift (175 citations)
  • Dual continental rift systems generated by plume-lithosphere interaction (107 citations)
  • Dual continental rift systems generated by plume-lithosphere interaction (107 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Tectonics
  • Subduction

His main research concerns Seismology, Tectonics, Rift, Lithosphere and Geophysics. His work in Seismology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Global Positioning System. His Global Positioning System study incorporates themes from Structural basin, Current and Deformation.

His research integrates issues of Induced seismicity and Seismic zone in his study of Tectonics. His studies examine the connections between Rift and genetics, as well as such issues in Crust, with regards to Half-graben, Foreshock, Felsic and Extensional tectonics. His work carried out in the field of Plate tectonics brings together such families of science as Elastic-rebound theory, Seismic gap and Magma.
