Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Plate tectonics
Seismology
Subduction

Matthew J. Fouch mainly investigates Mantle, Geophysics, Seismology, Seismic anisotropy and Lithosphere. His research on Mantle frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Mineralogy. His Geophysics research includes elements of Petrology, Transverse isotropy and Craton.

His Seismology research includes themes of Slab, Seismic tomography and Shear wave splitting. He interconnects Earthscope and Batholith in the investigation of issues within Seismic tomography. The Seismic anisotropy study combines topics in areas such as Hotspot and Crust.

His most cited work include:

Seismic anisotropy beneath stable continental interiors (189 citations)
Complex and variable crustal and uppermost mantle seismic anisotropy in the western United States (130 citations)
Mantle seismic structure beneath the Kaapvaal and Zimbabwe Cratons (127 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Geophysics, Mantle, Seismic anisotropy and Crust. His research in Seismology intersects with topics in Seismic tomography and USArray. His Geophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Structural basin and Transverse isotropy.

His studies in Mantle integrate themes in fields like Volcanism, Subduction, Lithosphere and Craton. Matthew J. Fouch combines subjects such as Shear wave splitting and Mantle convection with his study of Seismic anisotropy. His Crust research includes themes of Receiver function, Basin and range topography and Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

Seismology (40.68%)
Geophysics (38.98%)
Mantle (35.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

Seismology (40.68%)
Earthscope (16.95%)
Geophysics (38.98%)

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

Matthew J. Fouch mostly deals with Seismology, Earthscope, Geophysics, USArray and Mantle. His research in Hotspot and Seismometer are components of Seismology. His research integrates issues of Mantle plume, Subduction, Mantle wedge and Transition zone in his study of Hotspot.

His research in Subduction intersects with topics in Slab and Seismic tomography. His Exploration geophysics and Crust study in the realm of Geophysics connects with subjects such as Phase velocity and Surface. His study in Crust is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Structural geology, Seismic anisotropy, Mantle convection and Magma.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

Complex and variable crustal and uppermost mantle seismic anisotropy in the western United States (130 citations)
Slab fragmentation, edge flow and the origin of the Yellowstone hotspot track (105 citations)
Crustal structure beneath the High Lava Plains of eastern Oregon and surrounding regions from receiver function analysis (67 citations)
