Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Seismology
  • Subduction

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Continental shelf, Continental margin, Tectonics and Passive margin. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Magnitude and Mantle. His Continental shelf research includes themes of Sedimentary basin and Continental crust.

His Continental margin research includes elements of Seafloor spreading, Geomorphology and Crust. Luis Matias has included themes like Rift and Oceanic crust in his Crust study. His Tectonics research integrates issues from Induced seismicity and Tsunami warning system.

His most cited work include:

  • The quest for the Africa–Eurasia plate boundary west of the Strait of Gibraltar (252 citations)
  • Geological constraints on the evolution of the Angolan margin based on reflection and refraction seismic data (ZaïAngo project) (147 citations)
  • Stress pattern in Portugal mainland and the adjacent Atlantic region, West Iberia (145 citations)

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

Seismology, Tectonics, Plate tectonics, Paleontology and Crust are his primary areas of study. Seismology and Mantle are commonly linked in his work. His research links Submarine pipeline with Tectonics.

Luis Matias has researched Plate tectonics in several fields, including Transform fault, Seafloor spreading and Geodesy. His Crust research incorporates themes from Volcano, Seismometer, Sedimentary rock, Seismic refraction and Peninsula. His Continental margin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Continental shelf, Passive margin, Continental crust and Oceanic crust.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (59.51%)
  • Tectonics (25.77%)
  • Plate tectonics (16.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Seismology (59.51%)
  • Paleontology (15.95%)
  • Plate tectonics (16.56%)

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

Luis Matias focuses on Seismology, Paleontology, Plate tectonics, Tectonics and Crust. The concepts of his Seismology study are interwoven with issues in Seafloor spreading and Submarine pipeline. His Rift, Orogeny, Passive margin and Cretaceous study in the realm of Paleontology connects with subjects such as Intrusion.

His Plate tectonics research incorporates elements of Transform fault, Subduction and Geophysics. His study in the field of Inversion is also linked to topics like Probabilistic logic. His research investigates the connection with Crust and areas like Seismometer which intersect with concerns in Hydrophone and Whale.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Lithospheric deformation in the Africa‐Iberia plate boundary: Improved neotectonic modeling testing a basal‐driven Alboran plate (27 citations)
  • Micro-seismicity in the Gulf of Cadiz: Is there a link between micro-seismicity, high magnitude earthquakes and active faults? (26 citations)
  • Crustal structure variations along the NW-African continental margin: A comparison of new and existing models from wide-angle and reflection seismic data (23 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Seismology
  • Subduction

Luis Matias mainly focuses on Seismology, Lithosphere, Mantle, Plate tectonics and Induced seismicity. Luis Matias interconnects Paleontology, Seafloor spreading and Crust in the investigation of issues within Seismology. His Crust study combines topics in areas such as Continental collision and Receiver function.

His studies deal with areas such as Transform fault, Fault, Fault friction, Subduction and Geodesy as well as Mantle. His Rift study results in a more complete grasp of Tectonics. His study in Tectonics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Climatology, Wave height and Stage.
