Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Composite material
  • Volcano

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Fracture, Geotechnical engineering, Fracture mechanics and Acoustic emission. Peter Sammonds has included themes like Shear and Holocene in his Seismology study. His studies deal with areas such as Statistical mechanics, Stress intensity factor and Degrees of freedom as well as Fracture.

Borrowing concepts from Electric potential, he weaves in ideas under Geotechnical engineering. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fracture toughness and Rock mechanics in addition to Fracture mechanics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Superstatistics, Statistical physics, Scaling and Scalar.

His most cited work include:

  • The UCL–Lancet Commission on Migration and Health: the health of a world on the move (211 citations)
  • Role of pore fluids in the generation of seismic precursors to shear fracture (151 citations)
  • Evidence for seismogenic fracture of silicic magma (108 citations)

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

Peter Sammonds mostly deals with Seismology, Geotechnical engineering, Sea ice, Fracture and Mechanics. His Geotechnical engineering study incorporates themes from Shear, Fracture toughness, Acoustic emission and Brittleness. As a member of one scientific family, Peter Sammonds mostly works in the field of Shear, focusing on Rock mechanics and, on occasion, Strain rate.

Peter Sammonds has researched Sea ice in several fields, including Rheology and Ice sheet. His Mechanics research incorporates themes from Slip and Stress. His Overburden pressure research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Composite material, Deformation and Mineralogy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (25.57%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (25.00%)
  • Sea ice (16.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Seismology (25.57%)
  • Sea ice (16.48%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (25.00%)

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

Peter Sammonds mainly focuses on Seismology, Sea ice, Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics and Petrology. In general Seismology, his work in Fault, Rift, Seismic hazard and Induced seismicity is often linked to Coulomb linking many areas of study. His study in Geotechnical engineering is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Non extensive and Cracking.

His research integrates issues of Piezoelectricity and Debris in his study of Mechanics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Volcano, Lava dome and Permeability in addition to Petrology. His Deformation research includes themes of Stress and Fracture.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The UCL–Lancet Commission on Migration and Health: the health of a world on the move (211 citations)
  • Pathways for degassing during the lava dome eruption of Mount St. Helens 2004–2008 (54 citations)
  • Marine ice regulates the future stability of a large Antarctic ice shelf (44 citations)

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

  • Thermodynamics
  • Composite material
  • Volcano

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Statistical physics, Induced seismicity, Refugee and Context. His research on Seismology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Slip. His work in the fields of Superstatistics and Statistical fluctuations overlaps with other areas such as Distribution and Gaussian process.

His work deals with themes such as Subduction, Volcanic arc, Volcanism and Lithosphere, which intersect with Induced seismicity. Peter Sammonds has included themes like Disaster risk reduction, Ethnic group, Minority group and Natural hazard in his Refugee study. His studies deal with areas such as Bedrock, Statistical mechanics and Fracture as well as Fault.
