Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Seismology
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Fault, Induced seismicity, Tectonics and Seismic hazard. Leonardo Seeber connects Seismology with Arc in his research. His Induced seismicity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Strike-slip tectonics and Shear stress.

Leonardo Seeber works mostly in the field of Tectonics, limiting it down to topics relating to Sedimentary rock and, in certain cases, Aggradation, Tectonic phase, Discontinuity and Main Central Thrust, as a part of the same area of interest. His studies in Seismic hazard integrate themes in fields like Accretionary wedge, Forearc and Collision zone. His research integrates issues of Aftershock, Structural basin, Active fault and Hypocenter in his study of Fault scarp.

His most cited work include:

  • Erosion, Himalayan geodynamics, and the geomorphology of metamorphism (432 citations)
  • River profiles along the Himalayan arc as indicators of active tectonics (423 citations)
  • Seismicity and Continental Subduction in the Himalayan Arc (296 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Tectonics, Fault, Induced seismicity and Paleontology. Leonardo Seeber has researched Seismology in several fields, including Structural basin and Crust. The various areas that Leonardo Seeber examines in his Tectonics study include Sedimentary rock and Geophysics.

The concepts of his Fault study are interwoven with issues in Intraplate earthquake, Seismic hazard and Seismogram. His work in the fields of Foreshock overlaps with other areas such as South carolina. His research in the fields of Forearc and Accretionary wedge overlaps with other disciplines such as Collision and Arc.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (69.74%)
  • Tectonics (22.05%)
  • Fault (21.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Seismology (69.74%)
  • Paleontology (13.85%)
  • Tectonophysics (6.15%)

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

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Paleontology, Tectonophysics, Tectonics and Trench. His study in Seismology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Submarine and Bathymetry. In the field of Paleontology, his study on Provenance, Accretionary wedge, Fluvial sediment and Neogene overlaps with subjects such as Biological dispersal.

His Tectonophysics research includes themes of Leading edge and Deformation. His Tectonics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Magnetic dip, Geomorphology and Subsidence. His study in the fields of Thrust tectonics under the domain of Fault overlaps with other disciplines such as Swarm behaviour.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Locked and loading megathrust linked to active subduction beneath the Indo-Burman Ranges (106 citations)
  • Remobilization of surficial slope sediment triggered by the A.D. 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake and tsunami along the Japan Trench (28 citations)
  • Effects of tectonic deformation and sea level on river path selection: Theory and application to the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna River Delta (27 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Seismology

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Tectonics, Subduction, Fault and Submarine. His research in Seismology intersects with topics in Sedimentary rock and Bathymetry. His work carried out in the field of Tectonics brings together such families of science as Floodplain, Sea level, Geomorphology and Progradation.

His Subduction research incorporates themes from Massif, Thermochronology, Subaerial and Décollement. His Thrust tectonics study in the realm of Fault interacts with subjects such as Swarm behaviour. The study incorporates disciplines such as Aftershock, Current and Seafloor spreading in addition to Submarine.
