Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Geometry
  • Optics

Heiner Igel mainly investigates Seismology, Geophysics, Wave propagation, Geodesy and Amplitude. Heiner Igel performs multidisciplinary studies into Seismology and Baseline in his work. His work on Seismic wave as part of general Geophysics study is frequently connected to Background information, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His studies deal with areas such as Finite difference, Mathematical analysis, Taylor series, Geometry and Mantle as well as Wave propagation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Seismogram, Rotation, Seismic array and Polarization in addition to Geodesy. In his study, Seismic tomography and Inertial frame of reference is inextricably linked to Waveform, which falls within the broad field of Amplitude.

His most cited work include:

  • Anisotropic wave propagation through finite-difference grids (245 citations)
  • Full seismic waveform tomography for upper-mantle structure in the Australasian region using adjoint methods (243 citations)
  • The adjoint method in seismology: I. Theory (206 citations)

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

Heiner Igel spends much of his time researching Seismology, Geodesy, Wave propagation, Geophysics and Seismogram. His study looks at the intersection of Seismology and topics like Waveform with Seismic tomography. Heiner Igel has included themes like Ring laser, Seismometer, Rotation around a fixed axis, Phase velocity and Rotation in his Geodesy study.

Heiner Igel has researched Wave propagation in several fields, including Geometry, Mathematical analysis, Wave equation, Spherical coordinate system and Surface wave. He studies Geophysics, focusing on Mantle in particular. Much of his study explores Seismogram relationship to Amplitude.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (32.03%)
  • Geodesy (21.88%)
  • Wave propagation (16.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geodesy (21.88%)
  • Seismometer (10.16%)
  • Seismology (32.03%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Geodesy, Seismometer, Seismology, Geophysics and Optics. His Geodesy research incorporates themes from Acceleration, Azimuth, Seismic wave and Rotation around a fixed axis. His Seismometer study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Acoustics, Rotation, Gyroscope, Instrumentation and Transponder.

His work on Seismic microzonation as part of general Seismology research is frequently linked to Early career, bridging the gap between disciplines. Heiner Igel is interested in Mantle, which is a field of Geophysics. Heiner Igel combines subjects such as Comparability and Rotation with his study of Optics.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • BlueSeis3A: Full Characterization of a 3C Broadband Rotational Seismometer (32 citations)
  • Global mantle structure from multifrequency tomography using P, PP and P-diffracted waves (22 citations)
  • Advances in 6C seismology: Applications of combined translational and rotational motion measurements in global and exploration seismology (22 citations)

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

  • Seismology
  • Geometry
  • Optics

His primary areas of study are Seismometer, Rotation around a fixed axis, Seismology, Scale and Seismic tomography. His work deals with themes such as Geodesy, Seismic microzonation, Gyroscope, Dispersion and Rayleigh wave, which intersect with Seismometer. His Rotation around a fixed axis course of study focuses on Tilt and Volcano, Instrumentation and Caldera.

His Seismology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Inverse problem. His Seismic tomography research is included under the broader classification of Geophysics. As part of one scientific family, Heiner Igel deals mainly with the area of Optics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Rotation, and often Wave propagation.
