Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Fault
  • Optics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Fault, Aftershock, Attenuation and Seismic moment. John Boatwright works in the field of Seismology, namely Tectonics. His Fault research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geometry, Scaling, Stress concentration and Geodesy.

The concepts of his Geometry study are interwoven with issues in Radiation and Body waves. Aftershock and Geophysics are frequently intertwined in his study. His study looks at the relationship between Attenuation and topics such as Energy, which overlap with Seismic energy and Frequency domain.

His most cited work include:

  • A spectral theory for circular seismic sources; simple estimates of source dimension, dynamic stress drop, and radiated seismic energy (432 citations)
  • Average body-wave radiation coefficients (367 citations)
  • Fractal analysis applied to characteristic segments of the San Andreas Fault (257 citations)

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

John Boatwright mainly investigates Seismology, Aftershock, Attenuation, Geodesy and Fault. His Seismology research focuses on Ground motion, Seismometer, Seismic moment, Tectonics and Seismogram. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hypocenter, Drop, Accelerograph and Shock.

His work deals with themes such as Mechanics and Geometry, which intersect with Drop. John Boatwright interconnects Amplitude, Energy, Wave propagation and Surface wave in the investigation of issues within Attenuation. John Boatwright combines subjects such as Dynamic stress, Azimuth, Body waves and Focal mechanism with his study of Geodesy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (77.66%)
  • Aftershock (31.91%)
  • Attenuation (15.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Seismology (77.66%)
  • NAPA (4.26%)
  • Fault (12.77%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, NAPA, Fault, Bay and Attenuation. His work on Ground motion and Aftershock as part of general Seismology study is frequently linked to Directivity, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Aftershock brings together such families of science as Mercalli intensity scale, Sinistral and dextral and Echelon formation.

His work on Creepmeter is typically connected to Term as part of general Fault study, connecting several disciplines of science. John Boatwright has researched Attenuation in several fields, including Range and Surface wave. His research in Strong ground motion intersects with topics in Sedimentary basin, Downtown and Masonry.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Mw 6.0 24 August 2014 South Napa Earthquake (56 citations)
  • An Overview of the Global Variability in Radiated Energy and Apparent Stress (49 citations)
  • Regional Spectral Analysis of Three Moderate Earthquakes in Northeastern North America (41 citations)

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

  • Seismology
  • Optics
  • Fault

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Aftershock, Tectonics, Geophysics and Process. His studies deal with areas such as Attenuation and Acceleration as well as Seismology. His study in Attenuation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Range and Surface wave.

His Acceleration study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rayleigh wave, Fault plane and Geodesy. His Lithosphere study incorporates themes from Transform fault, Subduction, Seismic wave, Intraplate earthquake and Plate tectonics. His Sinistral and dextral research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mercalli intensity scale and Echelon formation.
