Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Fault
  • Plate tectonics

Patience A. Cowie focuses on Fault, Scaling, Seismology, Stress field and Geometry. While the research belongs to areas of Fault, Patience A. Cowie spends her time largely on the problem of Tectonics, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Communication channel. The various areas that Patience A. Cowie examines in her Scaling study include Geomorphology, Power law and Data set.

The Power law study combines topics in areas such as Scale, Fracture, Characteristic length, Statistical physics and Field. Her Data set study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Closed and exact differential forms and Plate tectonics. Her work on Rift is typically connected to Strain rate as part of general Seismology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Her most cited work include:

  • Scaling of fracture systems in geological media (799 citations)
  • Physical explanation for the displacement-length relationship of faults using a post-yield fracture mechanics model (481 citations)
  • Displacement-length scaling relationship for faults: data synthesis and discussion (455 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Seismology, Fault, Geomorphology, Tectonics and Fault scarp. Her research in Fault intersects with topics in Geometry, Scaling and Rift. Her Geometry research incorporates elements of Geotechnical engineering and Range.

Her Scaling study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Magnitude, Statistical physics, Power law and Data set. Her Fault scarp research focuses on subjects like Ridge, which are linked to Accretion and Seafloor spreading. Her study explores the link between Bedrock and topics such as Stream power that cross with problems in Sediment transport.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (46.77%)
  • Fault (37.90%)
  • Geomorphology (17.74%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Seismology (46.77%)
  • Fault (37.90%)
  • Rift (12.10%)

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

Seismology, Fault, Rift, Surface and Sediment are her primary areas of study. Her study looks at the intersection of Seismology and topics like Bedrock with Seismic hazard and Paleoseismology. She has included themes like Geomorphology and Continental margin in her Fault study.

Her Rift research integrates issues from Fluvial and Subsidence. Her Surface research also works with subjects such as

  • Petrology which is related to area like Passive margin, Source to sink, Oceanic crust, Magmatism and Seafloor spreading,
  • Normal fault, which have a strong connection to Geotechnical engineering. Her research investigates the connection between Sediment and topics such as Structural basin that intersect with problems in Tectonics and Erosion.

Between 2012 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Orogen-scale uplift in the central Italian Apennines drives episodic behaviour of earthquake faults. (36 citations)
  • Slip distributions on active normal faults measured from LiDAR and field mapping of geomorphic offsets: an example from L'Aquila, Italy, and implications for modelling seismic moment release (36 citations)
  • Normal Fault Growth in Three‐Dimensions in Continental and Oceanic Crust (34 citations)

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

  • Geometry
  • Statistics
  • Mechanics

Her primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Active fault, Fault, Rift and Fault scarp. Her Seismology research includes elements of Seafloor spreading and Petrology. Her research in the fields of Elastic-rebound theory overlaps with other disciplines such as Coulomb and Strain rate.

Her research investigates the connection with Fault and areas like Geomorphology which intersect with concerns in Seismic hazard and Paleoseismology. Her Rift research incorporates themes from Sediment, Fluvial and Subsidence. She has researched Fault scarp in several fields, including Bedrock, Seismic moment, Structural geology and Inversion.
