2003 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Geophysics
  • Meteorology

His main research concerns Mantle, Core–mantle boundary, Geophysics, Geometry and Seismology. Lianxing Wen interconnects Beijing Anomaly, Mantle convection and Mineralogy in the investigation of issues within Mantle. His Beijing Anomaly study incorporates themes from Shear and Seismic array.

The Core–mantle boundary study which covers Hotspot that intersects with Slab window, Seismic tomography, Volcanic arc, Plume and Mantle plume. When carried out as part of a general Geophysics research project, his work on Transition zone is frequently linked to work in Boundary layer, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His work on Inner core and Seismometer as part of general Seismology study is frequently linked to Boundary, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Hemispherical variations in seismic velocity at the top of the Earth's inner core (188 citations)
  • Ultra-Low velocity zones near the core-mantle boundary from broadband PKP precursors (163 citations)
  • Seismic evidence that the source of the Iceland hotspot lies at the core–mantle boundary (130 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Geophysics, Mantle, Core–mantle boundary and Inner core. His studies examine the connections between Seismology and genetics, as well as such issues in Magnitude, with regards to Volcano. His work in the fields of Geophysics, such as Seismic anisotropy, intersects with other areas such as Perturbation.

His study in the field of Preliminary reference Earth model also crosses realms of Stress field. The Core–mantle boundary study combines topics in areas such as Beijing Anomaly, Partial melting, Mantle plume and Hotspot. The Outer core research Lianxing Wen does as part of his general Inner core study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Earth, Eastern Hemisphere, Boundary and Temporal change, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (85.40%)
  • Geophysics (57.66%)
  • Mantle (43.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mantle (43.80%)
  • Seismology (85.40%)
  • Geophysics (57.66%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mantle, Seismology, Geophysics, Inner core and Inversion. His Mantle research includes themes of Seismic velocity, Thermal, Transition zone and Anisotropy. His research in Geophysics is mostly focused on Core–mantle boundary.

His Inner core study combines topics in areas such as Surface and Seismic wave. His Inversion study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Body waves and Earthquake hazard.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Temporal Change of Seismic Earth's Inner Core Phases: Inner Core Differential Rotation or Temporal Change of Inner Core Surface? (7 citations)
  • Support Vector Machine Classification of Seismic Events in the Tianshan Orogenic Belt (4 citations)
  • Comment on "Origin of temporal changes of inner-core seismic waves" by Yang and Song (2020) (2 citations)
