Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Optics
  • Plate tectonics

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, Seismology, Volcano, Subsidence and Groundwater are his primary areas of study. The Interferometric synthetic aperture radar study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Aquifer and Deformation. His work carried out in the field of Volcano brings together such families of science as Dike and Tectonics, Rift, Rift zone.

As a member of one scientific family, Falk Amelung mostly works in the field of Subsidence, focusing on Flooding and, on occasion, Levee and Space geodesy. While the research belongs to areas of Synthetic aperture radar, Falk Amelung spends his time largely on the problem of Geodesy, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Aftershock, Basin and range topography, Bedrock and Structural basin. Falk Amelung has included themes like Compressibility and Extraction in his Geomorphology study.

His most cited work include:

  • Fault Slip Distribution of the 1999 Mw 7.1 Hector Mine, California, Earthquake, Estimated from Satellite Radar and GPS Measurements (526 citations)
  • Sensing the ups and downs of Las Vegas: InSAR reveals structural control of land subsidence and aquifer-system deformation (444 citations)
  • Space geodesy: Subsidence and flooding in New Orleans (264 citations)

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

Falk Amelung mainly investigates Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, Seismology, Volcano, Geodesy and Magma. Falk Amelung interconnects Series, Geomorphology and Subsidence in the investigation of issues within Interferometric synthetic aperture radar. Many of his research projects under Seismology are closely connected to Flank with Flank, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Falk Amelung combines subjects such as Dike and Rift zone with his study of Volcano. His studies deal with areas such as Basin and range topography and Digital elevation model as well as Geodesy. His Magma research incorporates elements of Lava, Volcanic arc and Petrology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (54.97%)
  • Seismology (47.37%)
  • Volcano (39.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Volcano (39.18%)
  • Seismology (47.37%)
  • Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (54.97%)

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

Falk Amelung focuses on Volcano, Seismology, Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, Fault and Rift. His study in Volcano is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Rift zone and Geodesy. His research integrates issues of Sequence and Deformation in his study of Seismology.

The concepts of his Interferometric synthetic aperture radar study are interwoven with issues in Algorithm, Minimum spanning tree and Volcanology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Induced seismicity, Earthquake swarm, Extraction and Groundwater. His Rift study combines topics in areas such as Petrology and Magma.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Small baseline InSAR time series analysis: Unwrapping error correction and noise reduction (36 citations)
  • Towards more realistic values of elastic moduli for volcano modelling (24 citations)
  • Earthquake Swarms Triggered by Groundwater Extraction Near the Dead Sea Fault (12 citations)

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

  • Volcano
  • Optics
  • Plate tectonics

Falk Amelung mostly deals with Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, Seismology, Viscoelasticity, Rheology and Taal volcano. While working in this field, Falk Amelung studies both Interferometric synthetic aperture radar and Workflow. His work on Earthquake swarm, Induced seismicity and Fault is typically connected to Dead sea as part of general Seismology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Falk Amelung performs integrative study on Viscoelasticity and Volcano deformation in his works.
