Her Anisotropy course of study focuses on Pacific Plate and Mantle flow, Lau Basin, Seabed and Oceanography.
Her most cited work include:
- The Lithosphere- Asthenosphere Boundary (274 citations)
- North American lithospheric discontinuity structure imaged by Ps and Sp receiver functions (255 citations)
- A complex pattern of mantle flow in the Lau backarc (235 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Mantle, Lithosphere, Geophysics and Subduction.
In general Seismology, her work in Plate tectonics, Terrane and Pacific Plate is often linked to Shear velocity linking many areas of study.
Her Mantle research incorporates themes from Crust, Petrology, Transition zone and Anisotropy.
Karen M. Fischer focuses mostly in the field of Lithosphere, narrowing it down to matters related to Craton and, in some cases, Gondwana and Plume.
In general Geophysics study, her work on Tectonophysics, Seismic wave and Seismic tomography often relates to the realm of Classification of discontinuities, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
Her Subduction study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Slab, Induced seismicity and Shear wave splitting.
She most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (45.45%)
- Mantle (36.93%)
- Lithosphere (35.23%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
