What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
- Erosion
Nicola Litchfield mainly focuses on Seismology, Seismic hazard, Fault, Plate tectonics and Hikurangi Margin.
Her Seismology research includes themes of Submarine pipeline and Geodesy.
Her study in Seismic hazard is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Induced seismicity and Surface rupture.
Her work on Active fault is typically connected to Hazard, Scale and Hazard model as part of general Fault study, connecting several disciplines of science.
Her Plate tectonics research integrates issues from Subduction and Episodic tremor and slip.
Nicola Litchfield has included themes like Aggradation, Fluvial, Radiocarbon dating, Quaternary and Physical geography in her Hikurangi Margin study.
Her most cited work include:
- Complex multifault rupture during the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake, New Zealand (274 citations)
- Towards a climate event stratigraphy for New Zealand over the past 30 000 years (NZ‐INTIMATE project) (262 citations)
- National Seismic Hazard Model for New Zealand: 2010 Update (259 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary areas of study are Seismology, Fault, Holocene, Seismic hazard and Geomorphology.
Her work in Surface rupture, Subduction, Active fault, Strike-slip tectonics and Tectonics are all subfields of Seismology research.
Nicola Litchfield combines subjects such as Induced seismicity, Radiocarbon dating and Submarine pipeline with her study of Fault.
Her Holocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Drainage basin, Floodplain, Sediment and Fluvial.
Her work on Seismic hazard is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Peak ground acceleration.
Her Geomorphology study deals with Hikurangi Margin intersecting with Forearc.
She most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (55.66%)
- Fault (42.45%)
- Holocene (21.70%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

- Fault (42.45%)
- Shore (8.49%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Nicola Litchfield mainly focuses on Seismology, Fault, Shore, Lidar and Oceanography.
Her studies in Surface rupture, Tectonophysics, Subduction, Seismic hazard and Aftershock are all subfields of Seismology research.
Her work in the fields of Paleoseismology and Active fault overlaps with other areas such as Surface.
Her study looks at the relationship between Active fault and topics such as Seismic gap, which overlap with Submarine pipeline.
Nicola Litchfield interconnects Geomorphology and Geodesy in the investigation of issues within Lidar.
In general Oceanography study, her work on Bay and Holocene often relates to the realm of Field, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Complex multifault rupture during the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake, New Zealand (274 citations)
- The New Zealand Active Faults Database (110 citations)
- The 2016 Kaikōura, New Zealand, Earthquake: Preliminary Seismological Report (88 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Erosion
- Plate tectonics
Seismology, Seismic hazard, Surface rupture, Fault and Tectonics are her primary areas of study.
Nicola Litchfield has researched Seismology in several fields, including Lidar and Satellite geodesy.
Her studies deal with areas such as Ground shaking and Scale as well as Seismic hazard.
Her studies link Subduction with Surface rupture.
In general Fault, her work in Fault trace and Active fault is often linked to Database, Hazard and Spatial database linking many areas of study.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Seismic moment, Seafloor spreading, Epicenter and Natural hazard in addition to Tectonics.
