Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

Richard J. Davies spends much of his time researching Seismology, Paleontology, Mud volcano, Petrology and Sedimentary rock. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Seismology, concentrating on Waste disposal and intersecting with Flood myth and Mining engineering. He works mostly in the field of Mud volcano, limiting it down to concerns involving Caldera and, occasionally, Subsidence, Erosion, Country rock and Volcanic cone.

The Sedimentary rock study combines topics in areas such as Fault, Submarine pipeline and Borehole. In Fault, Richard J. Davies works on issues like Geothermal gradient, which are connected to Hydraulic fracturing. His work in Borehole addresses subjects such as Aquifer, which are connected to disciplines such as Fossil fuel.

His most cited work include:

  • The Environmental Costs and Benefits of Fracking (237 citations)
  • Induced seismicity and hydraulic fracturing for the recovery of hydrocarbons (216 citations)
  • Oil and gas wells and their integrity : implications for shale and unconventional resource exploitation (214 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Petrology, Paleontology, Seismology, Geomorphology and Mud volcano. His Petrology research includes themes of Submarine pipeline, Sediment, Diagenesis, Fault and Igneous petrology. His research investigates the connection between Fault and topics such as Hydraulic fracturing that intersect with issues in Shale gas.

Paleontology is a component of his Structural basin, Sedimentary basin, Sedimentary rock, Late Miocene and Tectonics studies. His work carried out in the field of Seismology brings together such families of science as Magnitude and Borehole. His studies deal with areas such as Volcano, Caldera, Outcrop and Igneous rock as well as Mud volcano.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Petrology (20.77%)
  • Paleontology (19.67%)
  • Seismology (18.58%)

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

  • Hydraulic fracturing (9.84%)
  • Fossil fuel (8.20%)
  • Methane (7.65%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydraulic fracturing, Fossil fuel, Methane, Seismology and Shale gas. His research in Hydraulic fracturing intersects with topics in Structural basin, Water resource management, Hazard and Aquifer, Groundwater. His Structural basin study incorporates themes from Fault, Groundwater flow and Petrology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Environmental engineering and Environmental protection in addition to Fossil fuel. His studies deal with areas such as Natural and Magnitude as well as Seismology. His Seabed course of study focuses on Geomorphology and Paleontology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global review of human-induced earthquakes (136 citations)
  • Framing ‘fracking’: Exploring public perceptions of hydraulic fracturing in the United Kingdom (89 citations)
  • Fugitive emissions of methane from abandoned, decommissioned oil and gas wells (50 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

Richard J. Davies mostly deals with Hydraulic fracturing, Seismology, Oil shale, Methane and Natural gas. His study in Hydraulic fracturing is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrogeology and Slug test, Aquifer. The various areas that he examines in his Seismology study include Natural, Magnitude, Flood myth and Mining engineering.

He has researched Oil shale in several fields, including Structural basin and Fault. As part of one scientific family, Richard J. Davies deals mainly with the area of Methane, narrowing it down to issues related to the Fugitive emissions, and often Hydrology. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Petrology and Well integrity.
