Paul G. Okubo

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Volcano
• Seismology
• Plate tectonics

His main research concerns Seismology, Volcano, Rift zone, Rift and Magma. His study in the fields of Fault and Induced seismicity under the domain of Seismology overlaps with other disciplines such as Deformation and Point. In his study, Geotechnical engineering and Slip is strongly linked to Stress, which falls under the umbrella field of Induced seismicity.

His Volcano study focuses on Caldera in particular. Paul G. Okubo performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Rift zone and Flank via his papers. His Rift research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lava, Dike, Accretion and Subaerial.

His most cited work include:

• Fractal geometry in the San Andreas Fault System (361 citations)
• Effects of physical fault properties on frictional instabilities produced on simulated faults (240 citations)
• The use of earthquake rate changes as a stress meter at Kilauea volcano. (165 citations)

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

Paul G. Okubo mainly focuses on Seismology, Volcano, Rift zone, Induced seismicity and Magma. In his articles, he combines various disciplines, including Seismology and Flank. His research investigates the connection between Volcano and topics such as Mantle that intersect with problems in Lithosphere.

His research integrates issues of Surface deformation, Dike and Seamount in his study of Rift zone. His Induced seismicity research also works with subjects such as

• Seismometer together with Slip,
• Hypocenter most often made with reference to Décollement. His work deals with themes such as Lava, Petrology and Seismic velocity, which intersect with Magma.

He most often published in these fields:

• Seismology (78.70%)
• Volcano (59.26%)
• Rift zone (26.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

• Seismology (78.70%)
• Volcanology (11.11%)
• Volcano (59.26%)

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

Paul G. Okubo mainly focuses on Seismology, Volcanology, Volcano, Rift zone and Magma. Many of his research projects under Seismology are closely connected to Relocation, Summit and Flank with Relocation, Summit and Flank, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Volcanology research integrates issues from Seismic noise, Seismic velocity and Tectonophysics.

His Seismic noise research includes elements of Surface deformation and Petrology. His work on Caldera expands to the thematically related Rift zone. By researching both Magma and Impact crater, Paul G. Okubo produces research that crosses academic boundaries.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• The 2018 rift eruption and summit collapse of Kīlauea Volcano (152 citations)
• Decrease in seismic velocity observed prior to the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea Volcano with ambient seismic noise interferometry (14 citations)
• Spatiotemporal Seismic Structure Variations Associated With the 2018 Kīlauea Eruption Based on Temporary Dense Geophone Arrays (4 citations)

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

• Volcano
• Seismology
• Plate tectonics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Volcano, Magma, Rift zone and Caldera. His work on Geophone as part of general Seismology research is frequently linked to Seismic interferometry, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Paul G. Okubo mostly deals with Volcanology in his studies of Volcano.

He interconnects Surface deformation, Seismic noise, Rift and Seismic velocity in the investigation of issues within Magma. Paul G. Okubo regularly ties together related areas like Lava in his Rift zone studies. The study incorporates disciplines such as Induced seismicity and Earthquake swarm in addition to Caldera.
