José Miguel Azañón

University of Granada
Spain

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Geomorphology
  • Erosion

Tectonics, Geomorphology, Hypsometric curve, Neogene and Quaternary are his primary areas of study. His work on Extensional tectonics is typically connected to Spatial ecology as part of general Tectonics study, connecting several disciplines of science. José Miguel Azañón interconnects Elevation, Spatial distribution and Spatial analysis in the investigation of issues within Geomorphology.

His Neogene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary basin and Anticline. His research integrates issues of Late Miocene, Mountain range and Unconformity in his study of Anticline. He has included themes like Fault, Sinistral and dextral, Fluvial terrace, Alluvial fan and Erosion in his Quaternary study.

His most cited work include:

  • Active tectonics in the Sierra Nevada (Betic Cordillera, SE Spain): Insights from geomorphic indexes and drainage pattern analysis (183 citations)
  • Active tectonics in the Sierra Nevada (Betic Cordillera, SE Spain): Insights from geomorphic indexes and drainage pattern analysis (183 citations)
  • Alternating contractional and extensional events in the Alpujarride nappes of the Alboran Domain (Betics, Gibraltar Arc) (151 citations)

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

José Miguel Azañón mainly focuses on Geomorphology, Tectonics, Seismology, Landslide and Paleontology. His Geomorphology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Drainage system. His research combines Quaternary and Tectonics.

His work in Quaternary covers topics such as Erosion which are related to areas like Pleistocene. José Miguel Azañón focuses mostly in the field of Landslide, narrowing it down to matters related to Drainage and, in some cases, Period. José Miguel Azañón usually deals with Fault and limits it to topics linked to Crust and Denudation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geomorphology (49.22%)
  • Tectonics (46.09%)
  • Seismology (32.81%)

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

  • Landslide (32.03%)
  • Paleontology (25.78%)
  • Fault (25.78%)

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

José Miguel Azañón mainly investigates Landslide, Paleontology, Fault, Tectonics and Lithosphere. José Miguel Azañón has researched Landslide in several fields, including Hydrology, Deformation monitoring and Natural hazard. His study in Paleontology focuses on Late Miocene, Sinistral and dextral, Quaternary and Mountain range.

His Fault research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Escarpment, Outcrop, Geomorphology and Bathymetry. His research in Tectonics intersects with topics in Massif and Rockfall. Petrology, Shear zone, Crust and Mantle is closely connected to Subduction in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Lithosphere.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A STEP fault in Central Betics, associated with lateral lithospheric tearing at the northern edge of the Gibraltar arc subduction system (13 citations)
  • Sentinel-1 DInSAR for Monitoring Active Landslides in Critical Infrastructures: The Case of the Rules Reservoir (Southern Spain) (10 citations)
  • Smectite formation upon lime stabilization of expansive marls (10 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion
  • Volcano

His primary areas of study are Landslide, Remote sensing, Radar, Displacement and Lime. His Landslide study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Regional science. His Remote sensing research includes elements of Seismology and Natural hazard.

His studies deal with areas such as Marl, Clay minerals and Dissolution as well as Lime. José Miguel Azañón combines Metallurgy and Bone decalcification in his research.
