Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Optics
  • Composite material
  • Igneous rock

His primary areas of study are Anisotropy, Mineralogy, Overburden pressure, Shear wave splitting and Crust. His research on Anisotropy focuses in particular on Seismic anisotropy. His Seismic anisotropy research incorporates themes from Seismology and Petrology.

His Mineralogy research includes elements of Texture and Hornblende. His Shear wave splitting research includes themes of S-wave and Seismic wave. His work in the fields of Crust, such as Continental crust, intersects with other areas such as Ivrea zone.

His most cited work include:

  • How mafic is the lower continental crust (213 citations)
  • Development of damage and permeability in deforming rock salt (157 citations)
  • Relationship between anisotropy of P and S wave velocities and anisotropy of attenuation in serpentinite and amphibolite (155 citations)

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

Hartmut Kern spends much of his time researching Mineralogy, Anisotropy, Seismic anisotropy, Crust and Petrology. His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mylonite, Quartz, Biotite, Gneiss and Overburden pressure. His study in Anisotropy focuses on Shear wave splitting in particular.

Hartmut Kern interconnects Longitudinal wave and Plagioclase in the investigation of issues within Seismic anisotropy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Seismology, Metamorphic rock and Craton in addition to Crust. His Petrology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Petrophysics, Lithosphere and Peridotite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mineralogy (52.50%)
  • Anisotropy (45.00%)
  • Seismic anisotropy (26.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2018)?

  • Mineralogy (52.50%)
  • Anisotropy (45.00%)
  • Neutron diffraction (11.25%)

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

Mineralogy, Anisotropy, Neutron diffraction, Texture and Gneiss are his primary areas of study. His studies in Mineralogy integrate themes in fields like Mylonite, Axial deformation, Quartz and Seismic anisotropy. His Mylonite research integrates issues from Shear, Massif and Pluton.

Hartmut Kern integrates Anisotropy and Deformation in his studies. Hartmut Kern studied Neutron diffraction and Microstructure that intersect with Crust, Continental crust, Subduction and Geophysics. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Gneiss, narrowing it down to issues related to the Felsic, and often Metamorphic rock, Eclogite and Shear modulus.

Between 2011 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Revisiting elastic anisotropy of biotite gneiss from the Outokumpu scientific drill hole based on new texture measurements and texture-based velocity calculations (34 citations)
  • Heterogeneous strain in axial deformation of limestone, textural evidence (20 citations)
  • Quartz preferred orientation in naturally deformed mylonitic rocks (Montalto shear zone–Italy): a comparison of results by different techniques, their advantages and limitations (18 citations)

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

  • Composite material
  • Optics
  • Igneous rock

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mineralogy, Anisotropy, Electron backscatter diffraction, Texture and Seismic anisotropy. Hartmut Kern has included themes like Shear, Axial deformation and Mylonite, Shear zone in his Mineralogy study. His work deals with themes such as Gneiss and Neutron diffraction, which intersect with Anisotropy.

His Electron backscatter diffraction research incorporates themes from Misorientation, Mantle wedge and Olivine. His research integrates issues of Crystal, Angular resolution and Biotite in his study of Texture. His study in Seismic anisotropy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Massif, Wavefront, Pressure vessel and Pluton.
