Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Algorithm
  • Plate tectonics

His main research concerns Seismology, Crust, Seismogram, Mantle and Receiver function. His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geophysics, Geodesy, Discontinuity, Core–mantle boundary and Seismic anisotropy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Structural basin, Cretaceous, Lithospheric flexure, Isostasy and Plateau.

Fenglin Niu has included themes like S-wave and Subduction in his Seismogram study. The concepts of his Mantle study are interwoven with issues in Volcano, Intraplate earthquake and Craton. His studies in Receiver function integrate themes in fields like Continental crust, Petrology and Transition zone.

His most cited work include:

  • Hemispherical variations in seismic velocity at the top of the Earth's inner core (188 citations)
  • Seismic evidence for a 920-km discontinuity in the mantle (176 citations)
  • Changbaishan volcanism in northeast China linked to subduction-induced mantle upwelling (149 citations)

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

Fenglin Niu mostly deals with Seismology, Mantle, Subduction, Geophysics and Receiver function. The study incorporates disciplines such as Seismic anisotropy, Discontinuity and Crust in addition to Seismology. Fenglin Niu usually deals with Crust and limits it to topics linked to Rayleigh wave and S-wave.

Fenglin Niu interconnects Seismic wave, Seismic array, Volcanism, Transition zone and Classification of discontinuities in the investigation of issues within Mantle. Fenglin Niu combines subjects such as Slab, Volcano and Continental margin with his study of Subduction. His Geophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Surface wave and Body waves.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (101.23%)
  • Mantle (31.28%)
  • Subduction (26.34%)

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

  • Seismology (101.23%)
  • Slab (8.23%)
  • Rayleigh wave (12.76%)

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

Fenglin Niu focuses on Seismology, Slab, Rayleigh wave, Seismic velocity and Geophysics. His Seismology research includes themes of Waveform, East Asia and Crust. His work deals with themes such as Segmentation, Fold, Geomorphology and Tectonophysics, which intersect with Slab.

Fenglin Niu has researched Seismic velocity in several fields, including Asperity, Fault and Reduction. His Transition zone research integrates issues from Mohorovičić discontinuity and Mantle. His Mantle study incorporates themes from Volcanism, Plateau and Magmatism.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Seismic velocity reduction and accelerated recovery due to earthquakes on the Longmenshan fault (29 citations)
  • Seismic velocity reduction and accelerated recovery due to earthquakes on the Longmenshan fault (29 citations)
  • Constraining Crustal Properties Using Receiver Functions and the Autocorrelation of Earthquake‐Generated Body Waves (9 citations)

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

  • Algorithm
  • Plate tectonics
  • Seismology

Seismology, Crust, Petrology, Lithosphere and Asthenosphere are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Seismic tomography and Rayleigh wave as well as Seismology. The Crust study combines topics in areas such as Asperity and Seismic velocity.

His research integrates issues of Subduction, Receiver function, Craton and Mantle in his study of Petrology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Slab, Discontinuity, Transition zone and Oceanic crust in addition to Lithosphere. Fenglin Niu integrates Asthenosphere and North china in his research.
