- Subduction
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Crust, Lithosphere, Subduction and Orogeny.
As part of one scientific family, Francis T. Wu deals mainly with the area of Seismology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Slab, and often Mantle.
In Crust, he works on issues like Induced seismicity, which are connected to Collision zone, Thrust fault, Continental collision, Depth of focus and Submarine pipeline.
Francis T. Wu merges Lithosphere with Collision in his study.
Francis T. Wu focuses mostly in the field of Orogeny, narrowing it down to topics relating to Mountain formation and, in certain cases, Eclogitization, Delamination and Seismic tomography.
His Plate tectonics research includes themes of Seismic refraction, Geophysics and Shear wave splitting.
His most cited work include:
- Imaging the Indian subcontinent beneath the Himalaya (345 citations)
- Taiwan orogeny: thin-skinned or lithospheric collision? (198 citations)
- Fault plane solutions of shallow earthquakes and contemporary tectonics in Asia (187 citations)
