Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Geometry
  • Fault

His scientific interests lie mostly in Fault, Geometry, Seismology, Displacement and Petrology. His studies in Fault integrate themes in fields like Seal and Kinematics. His Geometry study combines topics in areas such as Slip and Free surface.

His Seismology research incorporates elements of Reflection, Submarine pipeline and Horizon. The concepts of his Displacement study are interwoven with issues in Scale, Shear zone, Geometric modeling and Shear stress. The various areas that he examines in his Petrology study include Fracture, Vein, Mineralogy, Igneous petrology and Environmental geology.

His most cited work include:

  • Analysis of the relationship between displacements and dimensions of faults (518 citations)
  • Variations in fracture system geometry and their implications for fluid flow in fractures hydrocarbon reservoirs (331 citations)
  • Measurement and characterisation of spatial distributions of fractures (295 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Fault, Seismology, Geometry, Petrology and Slip. John J. Walsh focuses mostly in the field of Fault, narrowing it down to topics relating to Displacement and, in certain cases, Range. His Seismology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Kinematics.

The Geometry study combines topics in areas such as Discrete element method and Mineralogy. John J. Walsh combines subjects such as Oil shale, Volcanism, Regional geology, Environmental geology and Gemology with his study of Petrology. His research integrates issues of Engineering geology and Igneous petrology in his study of Environmental geology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fault (41.87%)
  • Seismology (32.52%)
  • Geometry (17.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Fault (41.87%)
  • Seismology (32.52%)
  • Geometry (17.48%)

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

His primary areas of study are Fault, Seismology, Geometry, Structural basin and Geochemistry. A large part of his Fault studies is devoted to Strike-slip tectonics. John J. Walsh has included themes like Slip and Range in his Seismology study.

His Slip research includes elements of Normal fault, Transform fault and Geotechnical engineering. His Geometry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Drag, Displacement, Discrete element method and Deformation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fluid dynamics, Stratigraphy and Plate tectonics in addition to Geochemistry.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Introduction to the geometry and growth of normal faults (20 citations)
  • Interactions and growth of faults in an outcrop-scale system (18 citations)
  • Importance of pre-existing fault size for the evolution of an inverted fault system (15 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Geometry
  • Sedimentary rock

John J. Walsh mostly deals with Geometry, Seismology, Fault, Structural basin and Structure. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Discrete element method and Shearing. His research on Fault focuses in particular on Fault scarp.

His Structural basin research focuses on Mining engineering and how it relates to Normal fault. His work deals with themes such as Slip, Transform fault, Geotechnical engineering and Growth fault, which intersect with Normal fault. His Structure research includes themes of Drag and Aspect ratio.
