Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Geometry
  • Geophysics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geodesy, Centroid, Induced seismicity, Seismology and Mathematical analysis. His Geodesy study deals with Geometry intersecting with Outer core. John H. Woodhouse performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Centroid and Moment tensor via his papers.

His Induced seismicity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Aftershock and Foreshock. John H. Woodhouse works on Seismology which deals in particular with Seismic wave. The various areas that John H. Woodhouse examines in his Mathematical analysis study include Tensor and Tensor.

His most cited work include:

  • Determination of earthquake source parameters from waveform data for studies of global and regional seismicity (1984 citations)
  • Mapping the upper mantle: Three‐dimensional modeling of earth structure by inversion of seismic waveforms (1031 citations)
  • An experiment in systematic study of global seismicity: Centroid-moment tensor solutions for 201 moderate and large earthquakes of 1981 (627 citations)

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

John H. Woodhouse mostly deals with Centroid, Moment tensor, Tensor, Geometry and Earth structure. He has included themes like Cauchy stress tensor, Mathematical analysis, Tensor, Geodesy and Focal mechanism in his Centroid study. His research integrates issues of Seismology, Seismometer, Inner core and Mantle in his study of Geodesy.

His work in the fields of Seismic wave, Aftershock and Foreshock overlaps with other areas such as South east. His Aftershock research integrates issues from Remotely triggered earthquakes, Seismic gap and Earthquake simulation. His work on Rotation as part of general Geometry research is frequently linked to Fourth quarter, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Centroid (70.69%)
  • Moment tensor (62.07%)
  • Tensor (55.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1989-2007)?

  • Earth structure (51.72%)
  • Centroid (70.69%)
  • Moment tensor (62.07%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Earth structure, Centroid, Moment tensor, Tensor and Focal mechanism. Earth structure connects with themes related to Geometry in his study. A majority of his Moment tensor research is a blend of other scientific areas, such as Mathematical physics and Fourth quarter.

John H. Woodhouse has researched Tensor in several fields, including Hypocenter and Geodesy. John H. Woodhouse conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Focal mechanism and Lanczos tensor through his research. His study on Lanczos tensor is intertwined with other disciplines of science such as Tensor, Cauchy stress tensor and Exact solutions in general relativity.

Between 1989 and 2007, his most popular works were:

  • The Nature of the 660-Kilometer Discontinuity in Earth's Mantle from Global Seismic Observations of PP Precursors (123 citations)
  • Centroid-moment tensor solutions for April June 1990 (64 citations)
  • Crust and upper mantle shear velocity structure beneath the Tibetan plateau and surrounding regions from interevent surface wave phase velocity inversion (50 citations)

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

  • Geometry
  • Seismology
  • Mathematical physics

His primary scientific interests are in Mantle, Seismic wave, Seismology, Petrology and Phase velocity. His study in the fields of Pyrolite under the domain of Mantle overlaps with other disciplines such as Discontinuity. His Seismic wave study improves the overall literature in Geophysics.

His Seismology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Continental crust and Crust.
