Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Geophysics
  • Seismology

His main research concerns Seismology, Tectonics, Lithosphere, Plate tectonics and Stress field. His research links Crust with Seismology. His study on Crust also encompasses disciplines like

  • Seismic refraction together with Conrad discontinuity, Mediterranean sea and Paleontology,
  • Seismogram which intersects with area such as Reflectivity and Refraction.

His work on Intraplate earthquake as part of general Tectonics study is frequently linked to Cauchy stress tensor, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Transition zone, Geophysics and Mantle. The study incorporates disciplines such as Asthenosphere and Anisotropy in addition to Mantle.

His most cited work include:

  • Computation of Synthetic Seismograms with the Reflectivity Method and Comparison with Observations (864 citations)
  • Global patterns of tectonic stress (507 citations)
  • Regional patterns of tectonic stress in Europe (372 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Crust, Lithosphere, Geophysics and Mantle. His work in the fields of Seismology, such as Tectonics, Rift, Seismic refraction and Graben, intersects with other areas such as Stress field. His Crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Petrology, Synthetic seismogram, Seismogram and Oceanic crust.

By researching both Lithosphere and Depth sounding, Karl Fuchs produces research that crosses academic boundaries. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Geophysics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Basalt, and often Olivine. His Mantle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Structural basin, Transition zone, Asthenosphere, Massif and Anisotropy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (61.39%)
  • Crust (34.65%)
  • Lithosphere (30.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2020)?

  • Seismology (61.39%)
  • Tectonics (20.79%)
  • Stress field (8.91%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Tectonics, Stress field, Geophysics and Mantle. His research on Seismology often connects related areas such as Massif. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Petroleum reservoir, Transition zone and Borehole.

The Geophysics study combines topics in areas such as Refraction, Mohorovičić discontinuity and Anisotropy. His Mantle research includes elements of Synthetic seismogram, Optics and Crust. His studies deal with areas such as Spatial distribution, Lithosphere and Oceanic crust as well as Crust.

Between 1998 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The World Stress Map database release 2016: Crustal stress pattern across scales (135 citations)
  • Plate boundary forces are not enough: Second‐ and third‐order stress patterns highlighted in the World Stress Map database (131 citations)
  • Tectonic stress in the Earth’s crust: advances in the World Stress Map project (122 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Paleontology
  • Subduction

His primary scientific interests are in Tectonics, Stress field, Plate tectonics, Seismology and Intraplate earthquake. Karl Fuchs has included themes like Magnitude, World map and Crust in his Tectonics study. He combines subjects such as Mining engineering, Seismic hazard and Borehole with his study of World map.

His Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Compression and Scale. His study in Oceanic crust is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geophysics, Transition zone, Continental crust and Lithosphere, Underplating. His specific area of interest is Geophysics, where he studies Mantle.
