Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Seismology

Seismology, Crust, Subduction, Seismic refraction and Tectonics are his primary areas of study. Many of his research projects under Seismology are closely connected to Structure and Refraction with Structure and Refraction, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Crust study which covers Igneous rock that intersects with San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth.

His Subduction study incorporates themes from Geomorphology and Terrane. Within one scientific family, Gary S. Fuis focuses on topics pertaining to Basement under Seismic refraction, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Petrology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Oceanic crust, Suture is strongly linked to Copper River.

His most cited work include:

  • Community Fault Model (CFM) for Southern California (149 citations)
  • A seismic refraction survey of the Imperial Valley Region, California (148 citations)
  • Trans-Alaska Crustal Transect and continental evolution involving subduction underplating and synchronous foreland thrusting (120 citations)

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

Gary S. Fuis focuses on Seismology, Crust, Seismic refraction, Geophysical imaging and Fault. His Seismology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Trough. His research in Crust intersects with topics in Subduction, Lithosphere, Mantle and Décollement.

His research on Seismic refraction also deals with topics like

  • Geomorphology which intersects with area such as Geochemistry,
  • Sedimentary rock, which have a strong connection to Basement. His Geophysical imaging research incorporates themes from Rift and Earthquake hazard. His work in the fields of Fault, such as Thrust fault and Strike-slip tectonics, intersects with other areas such as Reflection.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (76.52%)
  • Crust (27.27%)
  • Seismic refraction (22.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Seismology (76.52%)
  • Geophysical imaging (15.15%)
  • Trough (12.88%)

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

Gary S. Fuis mainly focuses on Seismology, Geophysical imaging, Trough, San andreas fault and Geomorphology. His Seismology research focuses on Fault, Tectonophysics, Tectonics, Plate tectonics and Basement. His work deals with themes such as Sedimentary basin, Geothermal gradient, Rift and Earthquake hazard, which intersect with Trough.

His research on Rift frequently links to adjacent areas such as Crust. His Geomorphology research includes themes of Geochemistry, Seismic refraction and Rift valley. Gary S. Fuis has included themes like Copper River, Passive margin, Metamorphism, Inversion and Terrane in his Seismic refraction study.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • A New Perspective on the Geometry of the San Andreas Fault in Southern California and Its Relationship to Lithospheric Structure (53 citations)
  • Continental rupture and the creation of new crust in the Salton Trough rift, Southern California and northern Mexico: Results from the Salton Seismic Imaging Project (16 citations)
  • Subsurface Geometry of the San Andreas Fault in Southern California: Results from the Salton Seismic Imaging Project (SSIP) and Strong Ground Motion Expectations (15 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Seismology
  • Subduction

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Geophysical imaging, Trough, Rift and Crust. In his work, Seismic migration is strongly intertwined with Canyon, which is a subfield of Seismology. His Geophysical imaging study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Remote sensing and Borehole.

His Crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lithosphere and Mantle. His work in Fault addresses issues such as Ridge, which are connected to fields such as Seismic refraction. In the field of Tectonics, his study on Pacific Plate overlaps with subjects such as Transverse plane.
