What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
- Seismology
Rainer Kind spends much of his time researching Seismology, Lithosphere, Mantle, Crust and Subduction.
In the field of Seismology, his study on Receiver function, Suture and Volcanic arc overlaps with subjects such as Classification of discontinuities.
Many of his research projects under Lithosphere are closely connected to Far East with Far East, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His work carried out in the field of Mantle brings together such families of science as Oceanic crust, Petrology, Transition zone and Seamount.
His studies in Crust integrate themes in fields like Neogene, Mohorovičić discontinuity and Main Central Thrust.
His Subduction research includes themes of Outcrop and Thrust fault.
His most cited work include:
- Partially Molten Middle Crust Beneath Southern Tibet: Synthesis of Project INDEPTH Results (939 citations)
- Seismic Images of Crust and Upper Mantle Beneath Tibet: Evidence for Eurasian Plate Subduction (480 citations)
- Seismic Evidence for a Detached Indian Lithospheric Mantle Beneath Tibet (313 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Lithosphere, Crust, Mantle and Receiver function.
His study in Seismology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Discontinuity and Transition zone.
His work deals with themes such as Mantle plume, Mantle wedge and Hotspot, which intersect with Transition zone.
His Lithosphere study which covers Geophysics that intersects with Paleontology.
He combines subjects such as Massif, Suture and Mohorovičić discontinuity with his study of Crust.
His Mantle study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Rift, Petrology and Collision zone.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (72.63%)
- Lithosphere (43.16%)
- Crust (33.16%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?
- Seismology (72.63%)
- Lithosphere (43.16%)
- Crust (33.16%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Seismology, Lithosphere, Crust, Mantle and Discontinuity.
In his papers, Rainer Kind integrates diverse fields, such as Seismology and Classification of discontinuities.
His research integrates issues of Subduction, Rift and Upwelling in his study of Lithosphere.
His work carried out in the field of Crust brings together such families of science as Volcanism, Tectonics and Terrane.
Body waves is closely connected to Petrology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Mantle.
Within one scientific family, Rainer Kind focuses on topics pertaining to Geophysics under Discontinuity, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Sea level and Continental shelf.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Seismic receiver functions and the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (120 citations)
- Seismic evidence for stratification in composition and anisotropic fabric within the thick lithosphere of Kalahari Craton (61 citations)
- Comprehensive observation and modeling of earthquake and temperature‐related seismic velocity changes in northern Chile with passive image interferometry (55 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Seismology
- Subduction
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Crust, Lithosphere, Petrology and Receiver function.
His Craton study in the realm of Seismology connects with subjects such as Classification of discontinuities.
His study in the field of Continental crust is also linked to topics like Plateau.
His study in Lithosphere is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Subduction and Discontinuity.
Rainer Kind works mostly in the field of Petrology, limiting it down to concerns involving Terrane and, occasionally, Geomorphology.
The concepts of his Receiver function study are interwoven with issues in Low-velocity zone and Lithosphere-Asthenosphere boundary.
