Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Fault
  • Plate tectonics

Rachel E. Abercrombie spends much of her time researching Seismology, Aftershock, Foreshock, Earthquake swarm and Interplate earthquake. Her Seismology study often links to related topics such as Scaling. The study incorporates disciplines such as Seismic moment, S-wave and Tectonics in addition to Scaling.

Her work carried out in the field of Aftershock brings together such families of science as Hypocenter and Fault. She has included themes like Quake, Earthquake magnitude and Depth of focus in her Foreshock study. Her Subduction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Intraplate earthquake and Induced seismicity, Seismotectonics, Seismic gap.

Her most cited work include:

  • Earthquake source scaling relationships from −1 to 5 ML using seismograms recorded at 2.5‐km depth (608 citations)
  • Can observations of earthquake scaling constrain slip weakening (286 citations)
  • Triggering of the 1999 MW 7.1 Hector Mine earthquake by aftershocks of the 1992 MW 7.3 Landers earthquake (183 citations)

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

Seismology, Aftershock, Stress drop, Induced seismicity and Borehole are her primary areas of study. Her work in Seismology addresses issues such as Magnitude, which are connected to fields such as Plate tectonics. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Intraplate earthquake, Fault, Seismic gap and Scaling.

Her research investigates the connection with Stress drop and areas like Tectonophysics which intersect with concerns in Mathematical geophysics. Her research integrates issues of Seismometer and San andreas fault in her study of Borehole. Her studies examine the connections between Earthquake swarm and genetics, as well as such issues in Interplate earthquake, with regards to Episodic tremor and slip.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (104.72%)
  • Aftershock (33.96%)
  • Stress drop (16.04%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Seismology (104.72%)
  • Stress drop (16.04%)
  • Sequence (7.55%)

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

Rachel E. Abercrombie mostly deals with Seismology, Stress drop, Sequence, Induced seismicity and Transform fault. Rachel E. Abercrombie incorporates Seismology and Trench in her research. Her research investigates the connection between Stress drop and topics such as Tectonophysics that intersect with problems in Mechanics.

Her Induced seismicity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hikurangi Margin, Geodesy, Ocean bottom and Earthquake hazard. Her biological study deals with issues like Fracture zone, which deal with fields such as Ridge and Seismometer. Her research in Aftershock intersects with topics in Earthquake swarm and Borehole.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Comparing EGF Methods for Estimating Corner Frequency and Stress Drop From P Wave Spectra (23 citations)
  • Source Complexity of the 2015 Mw 4.0 Guthrie, Oklahoma Earthquake (10 citations)
  • Back-propagating super-shear rupture in the 2016 Mw7.1 Romanche transform fault earthquake (9 citations)
