Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Optics
  • Statistics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Geodesy, Amplitude, Seismogram and Seismic wave. The Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Waveform and Mantle. His Geodesy research integrates issues from Range, Meteorology and Inner core.

His Amplitude research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plane, Cardinal point, Stability and Filter. Peter M. Shearer has researched Seismogram in several fields, including Azimuth, Geometry, Seismometer and Moment. His research integrates issues of Earthquake prediction and Mineralogy in his study of Seismic wave.

His most cited work include:

  • Introduction to seismology (570 citations)
  • Global variations of stress drop for moderate to large earthquakes (472 citations)
  • Extent, duration and speed of the 2004 Sumatra–Andaman earthquake imaged by the Hi-Net array (472 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Mantle, Geophysics, Induced seismicity and Seismogram. While the research belongs to areas of Seismology, Peter M. Shearer spends his time largely on the problem of Geodesy, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Seismic wave. His Mantle study which covers Transition zone that intersects with Discontinuity.

His work in Geophysics tackles topics such as Scattering which are related to areas like Coda. His studies deal with areas such as Volcano and Tectonics as well as Induced seismicity. His studies in Seismogram integrate themes in fields like Attenuation and Seismometer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (71.56%)
  • Mantle (16.11%)
  • Geophysics (15.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Seismology (71.56%)
  • Tectonophysics (5.69%)
  • Induced seismicity (14.93%)

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

Peter M. Shearer spends much of his time researching Seismology, Tectonophysics, Induced seismicity, Subduction and Aftershock. His work carried out in the field of Seismology brings together such families of science as Reflection seismology and USArray. His Tectonophysics research incorporates elements of Slab, Stress drop and Geodesy.

His work investigates the relationship between Induced seismicity and topics such as Scaling that intersect with problems in Moment, Wave propagation, Magnitude and Attenuation. Peter M. Shearer has included themes like Seismic anisotropy, Mantle and Seismic zone in his Subduction study. In the field of Aftershock, his study on Interplate earthquake overlaps with subjects such as Sequence.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Slip segmentation and slow rupture to the trench during the 2015, Mw8.3 Illapel, Chile earthquake (93 citations)
  • Searching for hidden earthquakes in Southern California (70 citations)
  • GrowClust: A Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm for Relative Earthquake Relocation, with Application to the Spanish Springs and Sheldon, Nevada, Earthquake Sequences (63 citations)

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

  • Optics
  • Statistics
  • Seismology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Subduction, Aftershock, Fault and Induced seismicity. His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Waveform and Scaling. His Waveform study combines topics in areas such as Uncertainty analysis, Geodesy, Hypocenter, Coherence and Calibration.

His Subduction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Velocity gradient and Bathymetry. Peter M. Shearer interconnects Tsunami earthquake, Intraplate earthquake, Back projection and Nankai trough in the investigation of issues within Fault. His Induced seismicity research includes elements of Geothermal energy, Forcing, Inversion and Renewable energy.
