Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Statistics
  • Plate tectonics

Martha K. Savage mainly focuses on Seismology, Anisotropy, Shear wave splitting, Seismic anisotropy and Mantle. Martha K. Savage regularly ties together related areas like Shear in her Seismology studies. Her work in Anisotropy addresses subjects such as Polarization, which are connected to disciplines such as San andreas fault.

Her Shear wave splitting research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geometry and Shear stress. Her Seismic anisotropy study incorporates themes from Fault and North American Plate. Martha K. Savage combines subjects such as Crust, Transition zone, Low-velocity zone, Lithosphere and Basin and range topography with her study of Mantle.

Her most cited work include:

  • Seismic anisotropy and mantle deformation: What have we learned from shear wave splitting? (903 citations)
  • The Interpretation of Shear‐Wave Splitting Parameters In the Presence of Two Anisotropic Layers (405 citations)
  • Ambient noise Rayleigh wave tomography of New Zealand (224 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Seismic anisotropy, Shear wave splitting, Anisotropy and Subduction. Martha K. Savage frequently studies issues relating to Mantle and Seismology. The various areas that Martha K. Savage examines in her Seismic anisotropy study include Slab, Tectonics, Seismometer and Asthenosphere.

Her studies deal with areas such as Shear waves and Focal mechanism as well as Shear wave splitting. Her study looks at the intersection of Anisotropy and topics like Shear with S-wave. Her Subduction study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plate tectonics and Tectonophysics.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (81.04%)
  • Seismic anisotropy (27.01%)
  • Shear wave splitting (26.07%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Seismology (81.04%)
  • Hikurangi Margin (9.00%)
  • Induced seismicity (14.22%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Hikurangi Margin, Induced seismicity, Seismic anisotropy and Subduction. Her study in Seismometer, Fault, Aftershock, Tectonophysics and Seismic noise is carried out as part of her studies in Seismology. Her research in Hikurangi Margin intersects with topics in Seafloor spreading and Geodesy.

Her work carried out in the field of Induced seismicity brings together such families of science as Volcano, Geothermal gradient and Shear. The Seismic anisotropy study combines topics in areas such as Slab, Shear wave splitting and Rift. Her work focuses on many connections between Anisotropy and other disciplines, such as Seismic velocity, that overlap with her field of interest in Earth structure.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Global quieting of high-frequency seismic noise due to COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures. (53 citations)
  • Focal mechanisms and inter-event times of low-frequency earthquakes reveal quasi-continuous deformation and triggered slow slip on the deep Alpine Fault (11 citations)
  • Crustal Fault Connectivity of the M w 7.8 2016 Kaikōura Earthquake Constrained by Aftershock Relocations (10 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Seismology
  • Plate tectonics

Her primary areas of study are Seismology, Fault, Induced seismicity, Seismic anisotropy and Seismometer. Her is doing research in Subduction and Seismic wave, both of which are found in Seismology. The concepts of her Subduction study are interwoven with issues in Receiver function and Plate tectonics.

Her Fault research includes themes of Aftershock, Microearthquake and Borehole. Geothermal gradient is closely connected to Shear in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Induced seismicity. Her Seismic anisotropy research includes elements of Slab, Shear wave splitting and Rift.
