University of Clermont Auvergne
France

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Oceanography
  • Sedimentary rock

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Volcano, Pyroclastic rock, Landslide and Continental shelf. His Volcano study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Tsunami hazard. He has included themes like Flow, Igneous rock and Volcanic rock in his Pyroclastic rock study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Multiphase flow, Turbulence, Geophysics and Mass flux. His work on Submarine landslide as part of general Landslide study is frequently connected to Lift and Population, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Pyroclastic surge study incorporates themes from Lava, Lava dome and Pyroclastic fall.

His most cited work include:

  • Numerical modeling of the emplacement of Socompa rock avalanche, Chile (145 citations)
  • Testing the suitability of frictional behaviour for pyroclastic flow simulation by comparison with a well-constrained eruption at Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador) (87 citations)
  • Testing the suitability of frictional behaviour for pyroclastic flow simulation by comparison with a well-constrained eruption at Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador) (87 citations)

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

Karim Kelfoun mainly focuses on Volcano, Seismology, Pyroclastic rock, Geomorphology and Flow. His work on Volcanic rock and Lava as part of general Volcano research is frequently linked to Flank and Population, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Seismology brings together such families of science as Debris and Submarine.

His Debris study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Escarpment and Subaerial. His studies deal with areas such as Volcanic hazards, Geotechnical engineering, Surge and Petrology as well as Pyroclastic rock. His study on Erosion is often connected to Hazard analysis as part of broader study in Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Volcano (82.56%)
  • Seismology (76.74%)
  • Pyroclastic rock (51.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Volcano (82.56%)
  • Seismology (76.74%)
  • Pyroclastic rock (51.16%)

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

Karim Kelfoun spends much of his time researching Volcano, Seismology, Pyroclastic rock, Impact crater and Flow. His Volcano study frequently links to other fields, such as Petrology. Karim Kelfoun integrates Seismology and Hazard analysis in his research.

The Pyroclastic rock study combines topics in areas such as Volcanic hazards, Computer simulation and Dome, Surge, Geomorphology. Karim Kelfoun has researched Impact crater in several fields, including Paleontology, Terrain and Mars Exploration Program. His research in Flow intersects with topics in Landslide, Geotechnical engineering and Peninsula.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modeling tsunami propagation and the emplacement of thumbprint terrain in an early Mars ocean (29 citations)
  • Post-eruptive flooding of Santorini caldera and implications for tsunami generation (28 citations)
  • Source of the tsunami generated by the 1650 AD eruption of Kolumbo submarine volcano (Aegean Sea, Greece) (27 citations)

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

  • Volcano
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion

His primary areas of investigation include Volcano, Seismology, Pyroclastic rock, Submarine and Flow. His Volcano research incorporates themes from Thermal and Petrology. His Seismology research integrates issues from Debris and Geomorphology.

His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Impact crater and Terrain. His research integrates issues of Explosive eruption, Caldera and Subaerial in his study of Submarine. His Flow research includes elements of Lava and Geotechnical engineering.
