Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Astronomy

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Lithosphere, Crust, Subduction and Tectonics. Intraplate earthquake and Fault are subfields of Seismology in which his conducts study. His Fault study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pacific Plate and Plate tectonics.

His Lithosphere study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mantle and Oceanic crust. He has included themes like Thermal conductivity, Cross section and Archean in his Crust study. His Subduction research focuses on subjects like Slab, which are linked to Slab suction and Volcanic arc.

His most cited work include:

  • Continental crustal underplating: Thermal considerations and seismic‐petrologic consequences (323 citations)
  • Two-phase growth of high topography in eastern Tibet during the Cenozoic (311 citations)
  • Surface rupture during the 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake: Implications for fault rupture dynamics and seismic-hazard analysis (152 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Subduction, Induced seismicity, Plate tectonics and Geophysics. His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Slip and Deformation. The concepts of his Plate tectonics study are interwoven with issues in Transform fault and Pacific Plate.

In his research on the topic of Geophysics, Slab window is strongly related with Thermal. His research investigates the connection between Tectonics and topics such as Triple junction that intersect with problems in Slab. His Lithosphere research incorporates themes from Mantle and Crust.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (59.49%)
  • Subduction (18.97%)
  • Induced seismicity (18.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Seismology (59.49%)
  • Plate tectonics (17.95%)
  • Subduction (18.97%)

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

Kevin P. Furlong mainly focuses on Seismology, Plate tectonics, Subduction, Slip and Tectonics. His Seismology research incorporates elements of Term, Stress field and Moment magnitude scale. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transform fault, Stress cycle, Seismic hazard and Transition zone in addition to Plate tectonics.

His Subduction study incorporates themes from Brittleness and Petrology. The various areas that Kevin P. Furlong examines in his Slip study include Aftershock, Episodic tremor and slip and Interplate earthquake. His work deals with themes such as Rifle, Shear wave splitting, Seismic anisotropy and Geodesy, which intersect with Tectonics.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tectonic summaries of magnitude 7 and greater earthquakes from 2000 to 2015 (24 citations)
  • Rapid and punctuated Late Holocene recession of Siling Co, central Tibet (23 citations)
  • The Geodetic Signature of the Earthquake Cycle at Subduction Zones: Model Constraints on the Deep Processes (21 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Astronomy

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Plate tectonics, Slip, Subduction and Induced seismicity. A large part of his Seismology studies is devoted to Tectonics. His studies deal with areas such as Transform fault and Seafloor spreading as well as Plate tectonics.

Intraplate earthquake is closely connected to Aftershock in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Slip. His work in the fields of Subduction, such as Episodic tremor and slip and Interplate earthquake, overlaps with other areas such as Trench. His Induced seismicity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tearing and Trough.
