What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Composite material
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
Kohtaro Ujiie spends much of his time researching Seismology, Subduction, Slip, Accretionary wedge and Trench.
His Seismology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Drilling and Petrology.
His work carried out in the field of Subduction brings together such families of science as Fault, Cataclastic rock, Plate tectonics and Shear.
His study looks at the relationship between Fault and fields such as Interplate earthquake, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Slip, Fault slip, Thrust and Coseismic slip is strongly linked to Shear stress.
In his papers, he integrates diverse fields, such as Trench, Stress drop and Moment magnitude scale.
His most cited work include:
- New insights into deformation and fluid flow processes in the Nankai Trough accretionary prism: Results of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 190 (180 citations)
- Low Coseismic Shear Stress on the Tohoku-Oki Megathrust Determined from Laboratory Experiments (164 citations)
- Low Coseismic Shear Stress on the Tohoku-Oki Megathrust Determined from Laboratory Experiments (164 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Subduction, Petrology, Slip and Fault.
In general Seismology study, his work on Plate tectonics, Accretionary wedge and Décollement often relates to the realm of Trench, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His Subduction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geochemistry and Submarine pipeline.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Metasomatism, Structural geology, Viscous shear and Tectonophysics in addition to Petrology.
His Slip research focuses on subjects like Mineralogy, which are linked to Shear stress.
His work on Seismic slip and Fault gouge as part of his general Fault study is frequently connected to Raman spectroscopy, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
