What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
- Seismology
James Ni mostly deals with Seismology, Lithosphere, Crust, Mantle and Suture.
His is involved in several facets of Seismology study, as is seen by his studies on Tectonics and Terrane.
His work on Collision zone as part of general Lithosphere research is often related to Phase velocity, thus linking different fields of science.
His Crust study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seismic noise and Plateau.
His study ties his expertise on Subduction together with the subject of Mantle.
His studies in Suture integrate themes in fields like Asthenosphere, Geophysical imaging, Rift and Far East.
His most cited work include:
- Partially Molten Middle Crust Beneath Southern Tibet: Synthesis of Project INDEPTH Results (939 citations)
- Seismotectonics of the Himalayan Collision Zone: Geometry of the underthrusting Indian Plate beneath the Himalaya (569 citations)
- Seismic Images of Crust and Upper Mantle Beneath Tibet: Evidence for Eurasian Plate Subduction (480 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
James Ni mainly focuses on Seismology, Crust, Mantle, Lithosphere and Subduction.
His studies in Tectonics, Rift, Terrane, Receiver function and Suture are all subfields of Seismology research.
James Ni combines subjects such as Structural basin, Rayleigh wave, Coda and Far East with his study of Crust.
His Mantle research includes themes of Volcanism, Seismic wave, Seismogram and Transition zone.
His Lithosphere study improves the overall literature in Paleontology.
As part of the same scientific family, James Ni usually focuses on Subduction, concentrating on Slab and intersecting with Syntaxis.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (79.37%)
- Crust (38.10%)
- Mantle (34.92%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2019)?
- Seismology (79.37%)
- Subduction (25.40%)
- Receiver function (9.52%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Subduction, Receiver function, Crust and Mantle.
His is doing research in Lithosphere and Tectonics, both of which are found in Seismology.
His study explores the link between Lithosphere and topics such as Terrane that cross with problems in Continental collision.
His Subduction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Volcano, Cenozoic and Tectonophysics.
His work deals with themes such as Rift and Mafic, which intersect with Crust.
The Mantle study combines topics in areas such as Intraplate earthquake, Volcanism and Pacific Plate.
Between 2013 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Changbaishan volcanism in northeast China linked to subduction-induced mantle upwelling (149 citations)
- 3D imaging of subducting and fragmenting Indian continental lithosphere beneath southern and central Tibet using body-wave finite-frequency tomography (71 citations)
- Crustal structure beneath NE China imaged by NECESSArray receiver function data (57 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
- Volcano
His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Subduction, Volcano, Receiver function and Mantle.
His study brings together the fields of Crust and Seismology.
