Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock

Robin Lacassin mostly deals with Shear zone, Shear, Fault, Seismology and Mylonite. His Shear zone study incorporates themes from Metamorphism, Geochemistry, Metamorphic rock, Gneiss and Thermochronology. His Thermochronology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Denudation and Nappe.

His Fault research includes elements of Boudinage and Geophysics. As a part of the same scientific study, Robin Lacassin usually deals with the Seismology, concentrating on Far East and frequently concerns with Tectonophysics, Mesozoic, Rift, Paleontology and Cenozoic. The Mylonite study which covers Petrology that intersects with Geomorphology.

His most cited work include:

  • The Ailao Shan-Red River shear zone (Yunnan, China), Tertiary transform boundary of Indochina (794 citations)
  • The Ailao Shan/Red River metamorphic belt: Tertiary left-lateral shear between Indochina and South China (688 citations)
  • New constraints on the structure, thermochronology, and timing of the Ailao Shan‐Red River shear zone, SE Asia (458 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Fault, Shear zone, Paleontology and Tectonics. Many of his research projects under Seismology are closely connected to Process with Process, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. The various areas that Robin Lacassin examines in his Fault study include Thermochronology and Lithosphere.

His Shear zone research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nappe, Shear, Metamorphic rock, Petrology and Geomorphology. His biological study deals with issues like Mylonite, which deal with fields such as Lineation. His studies in Geomorphology integrate themes in fields like Geochemistry and Plateau.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (47.19%)
  • Fault (28.09%)
  • Shear zone (22.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Seismology (47.19%)
  • Rift (10.11%)
  • Lithosphere (8.99%)

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

His main research concerns Seismology, Rift, Lithosphere, Fault and Tectonics. His Seismology research incorporates elements of Precambrian and Crust. Rift is a primary field of his research addressed under Geomorphology.

His Lithosphere study deals with Normal fault intersecting with Morphotectonics, Seismogenic layer and Fault mechanics. His work carried out in the field of Tectonics brings together such families of science as Quaternary and Sequence. As part of the same scientific family, Robin Lacassin usually focuses on North Anatolian Fault, concentrating on Plate tectonics and intersecting with Fluvial and Active fault.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rupture Process of the Mw 5.8 Pawnee, Oklahoma, Earthquake from Sentinel‐1 InSAR and Seismological Data (36 citations)
  • Revisiting the Crustal Structure and Kinematics of the Central Andes at 33.5°S: Implications for the Mechanics of Andean Mountain Building (13 citations)
  • Lithospheric flexure and rheology determined by climate cycle markers in the Corinth Rift (11 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock

Robin Lacassin mostly deals with Seismology, Tectonics, Crust, Forearc and Subduction. Much of his study explores Seismology relationship to Precambrian. Tectonics and Fault mechanics are commonly linked in his work.

His study in Crust is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fault, Lithospheric flexure and Subsidence. His Forearc research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Orogeny, Mountain formation, Basement and Section. Subduction is a subfield of Paleontology that he tackles.
