Ken McCaffrey focuses on Seismology, Sinistral and dextral, Geochemistry, Paleontology and Slip.
Ken McCaffrey combines subjects such as Shear and Quaternary with his study of Seismology.
Ken McCaffrey has included themes like Shear zone and Pluton in his Geochemistry study.
His Strain partitioning and Rift study in the realm of Paleontology interacts with subjects such as Systematics, Line and Vein.
His study looks at the intersection of Slip and topics like Fault with Lidar, Curvature, Gaussian curvature and Stress field.
Ken McCaffrey focuses mostly in the field of Igneous rock, narrowing it down to matters related to Fractal dimension and, in some cases, Mineralogy.
His most cited work include:
- Granite magma formation, transport and emplacement in the Earth's crust. (569 citations)
- Unlocking the spatial dimension: digital technologies and the future of geoscience fieldwork (176 citations)
- Are granitic intrusions scale invariant (175 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ken McCaffrey mainly focuses on Seismology, Paleontology, Fault, Rift and Slip.
His research combines Geomorphology and Paleontology.
His work in Fault addresses subjects such as Petrology, which are connected to disciplines such as Magma.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Rift, Crust is strongly linked to Lithosphere.
His Sinistral and dextral research integrates issues from Strain partitioning and Shear zone.
The concepts of his Shear zone study are interwoven with issues in Geochemistry and Pluton.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (30.62%)
- Paleontology (23.44%)
- Fault (19.62%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Rift (17.70%)
- Paleontology (23.44%)
- Fault (19.62%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Ken McCaffrey mostly deals with Rift, Paleontology, Fault, Slip and Petrology.
His work carried out in the field of Rift brings together such families of science as Lithosphere, Plate tectonics and Terrane.
In the field of Paleontology, his study on Tectonics and Fluvial overlaps with subjects such as Inheritance.
As a part of the same scientific family, Ken McCaffrey mostly works in the field of Fault, focusing on Outcrop and, on occasion, Scaling.
Ken McCaffrey interconnects Seismology, Seismic hazard and Geodetic datum in the investigation of issues within Slip.
His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Bedrock and Collapse.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Dual control of fault intersections on stop-start rupture in the 2016 Central Italy seismic sequence (55 citations)
- The role of pre-existing structures during rifting, continental breakup and transform system development, offshore West Greenland (39 citations)
- Natural fracture propping and earthquake-induced oil migration in fractured basement reservoirs (21 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
- Paleontology
Ken McCaffrey spends much of his time researching Rift, Paleontology, Plate tectonics, Lithosphere and Tectonics.
His Rift research includes elements of Basement, Ridge, Continental crust and Subsidence.
The various areas that Ken McCaffrey examines in his Basement study include Cretaceous, Clastic rock, Fracture, Geochemistry and Fault.
His research investigates the link between Continental crust and topics such as Oceanic crust that cross with problems in Transtension, Transpression, Craton, Diachronous and Igneous rock.
His study in Terrane, Crust and Quaternary falls under the purview of Paleontology.
His studies in Shear integrate themes in fields like Fracture zone and Magmatism.
