What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Fault
- Sedimentary rock
- Tectonics
His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Fault, Shear, Petrology and Crust.
His work in the fields of Seismology, such as Continental crust, Shear zone and Greenschist, overlaps with other areas such as Hydrostatic equilibrium.
His Shear zone research integrates issues from Transform fault, Fault gouge and Elastic-rebound theory, Strike-slip tectonics, Fault scarp.
Richard H. Sibson has researched Fault in several fields, including Tectonics and Permeability.
His Tectonics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dilatant and Instability.
His Crust research includes elements of Cataclastic rock, Structural geology and Plate tectonics.
His most cited work include:
- Fault rocks and fault mechanisms (1567 citations)
- High-angle reverse faults, fluid-pressure cycling, and mesothermal gold-quartz deposits (834 citations)
- Fault zone models, heat flow, and the depth distribution of earthquakes in the continental crust of the United States (675 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Richard H. Sibson spends much of his time researching Seismology, Fault, Crust, Tectonics and Petrology.
His work on Shear expands to the thematically related Seismology.
His research investigates the link between Shear and topics such as Shearing that cross with problems in Seismic slip.
Richard H. Sibson interconnects Inversion and Continental crust in the investigation of issues within Fault.
His research in Tectonics focuses on subjects like Geotechnical engineering, which are connected to Tectonic stress.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Extensional definition, Geophysics and Permeability.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (67.33%)
- Fault (38.61%)
- Crust (18.81%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?
- Seismology (67.33%)
- Tectonics (18.81%)
- Active fault (9.90%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Richard H. Sibson focuses on Seismology, Tectonics, Active fault, Overpressure and Shear zone.
His Seismology and Plate tectonics and Strike-slip tectonics investigations all form part of his Seismology research activities.
The concepts of his Tectonics study are interwoven with issues in Fault, Quaternary and Sequence.
He combines subjects such as Aftershock and Crust with his study of Active fault.
His Shear zone research incorporates themes from Compression and Petrology.
In the subject of general Petrology, his work in Shear is often linked to Lubrication and Welding, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Fault welding by pseudotachylyte formation (33 citations)
- Tensile overpressure compartments on low-angle thrust faults (22 citations)
- Deformed Neogene basins, active faulting and topography in Westland: Distributed crustal mobility west of the Alpine Fault transpressive plate boundary (South Island, New Zealand) (21 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Fault
- Sedimentary rock
- Tectonics
His main research concerns Seismology, Overpressure, Tectonics, Edge and Critical stress.
All of his Seismology and Rift and Transtension investigations are sub-components of the entire Seismology study.
Overpressure is integrated with Shear zone, Vein, Thrust fault, Compression and Dilatant in his study.
His studies in Tectonics integrate themes in fields like Fault and Subsidence.
