What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
- Seismology
His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Lithosphere, Crust, Mantle and Subduction.
The concepts of his Lithosphere study are interwoven with issues in Earth science, Geophysics and Craton.
While the research belongs to areas of Geophysics, Keith Priestley spends his time largely on the problem of Rayleigh wave, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Seismogram.
Keith Priestley has researched Crust in several fields, including Mantle plume, Receiver function, Induced seismicity, Plateau and Inversion.
His Mantle research includes elements of Shear, Petrology, Seismogenic layer, Iceland plume and Hotspot.
His Subduction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Seafloor spreading, Sill and Continental crust.
His most cited work include:
- Indian Ocean Experiment: An integrated analysis of the climate forcing and effects of the great Indo-Asian haze (1143 citations)
- Thermal structure of oceanic and continental lithosphere (578 citations)
- Active tectonics of the South Caspian Basin (475 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Keith Priestley mainly focuses on Seismology, Lithosphere, Crust, Surface wave and Mantle.
His research links Rayleigh wave with Seismology.
As part of the same scientific family, Keith Priestley usually focuses on Lithosphere, concentrating on Geophysics and intersecting with Low-velocity zone.
His studies examine the connections between Crust and genetics, as well as such issues in Oceanic crust, with regards to Continental crust and Sedimentary rock.
His Mantle study combines topics in areas such as Geothermal gradient, Seismogenic layer, Petrology and Transition zone.
His work carried out in the field of Tectonics brings together such families of science as Aftershock and Fault.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (68.75%)
- Lithosphere (33.65%)
- Crust (30.29%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

- The deep structure of the Iranian Plateau (46 citations)
- Speculations on the formation of cratons and cratonic basins (40 citations)
- Depth‐variant azimuthal anisotropy in Tibet revealed by surface wave tomography (36 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
- Paleontology
Keith Priestley focuses on Seismology, Lithosphere, Surface wave, Crust and Subduction.
His research integrates issues of Shear and Mantle in his study of Seismology.
His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Metamorphic rock, Obduction and Accretion.
His Surface wave research integrates issues from Seismic tomography, Geophysics and Asthenosphere.
His study in Crust is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thermal subsidence, Volcanism, Metamorphism and Craton.
His work on Seismic cycle and Accretionary wedge as part of general Subduction research is frequently linked to Metadata and Iris flower data set, bridging the gap between disciplines.
