Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Seismology
Fault
Plate tectonics

Seismology, Coulomb stress transfer, Aftershock, Induced seismicity and Fault are his primary areas of study. Ross S. Stein combines subjects such as Shear, Magnitude and Crust with his study of Seismology. The Coulomb stress transfer study combines topics in areas such as North Anatolian Fault, Moment magnitude scale and 2008 California earthquake study.

His Aftershock research incorporates themes from Stress field, Seismic risk, Earthquake swarm and Epicenter. His research investigates the connection between Induced seismicity and topics such as Seismic hazard that intersect with problems in Subduction, Earthquake catalog and Earthquake rupture. His study looks at the relationship between Active fault and topics such as Foreshock, which overlap with Tectonics.

His most cited work include:

STATIC STRESS CHANGES AND THE TRIGGERING OF EARTHQUAKES (1615 citations)
The role of stress transfer in earthquake occurrence (1135 citations)
Progressive failure on the North Anatolian fault since 1939 by earthquake stress triggering (884 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Aftershock, Induced seismicity, Fault and Thrust fault. His work in the fields of Tectonics overlaps with other areas such as Coulomb. His research investigates the connection with Aftershock and areas like Epicenter which intersect with concerns in Hypocenter.

His study in Induced seismicity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Earthquake rupture, Seismic hazard and Foreshock. His work is dedicated to discovering how Geodetic datum, Volcano are connected with Dike and other disciplines. His Active fault research extends to Coulomb stress transfer, which is thematically connected.

He most often published in these fields:

Seismology (76.73%)
Aftershock (30.82%)
Induced seismicity (20.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

Seismology (76.73%)
Aftershock (30.82%)
Quake (2.52%)

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

Seismology, Aftershock, Quake, Fault and Magnitude are his primary areas of study. Seismology and Magnitude are frequently intertwined in his study. His Magnitude study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as San andreas fault and Seismic hazard assessment.

The concepts of his Aftershock study are interwoven with issues in Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and Mathematical geophysics. Ross S. Stein integrates many fields in his works, including Fault and Shut down. His research in Seismic risk focuses on subjects like Natural hazard, which are connected to Tectonophysics.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

KEAP1-modifying small molecule reveals muted NRF2 signaling responses in neural stem cells from Huntington's disease patients (43 citations)
Why aftershock duration matters for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (9 citations)
Ridgecrest earthquake shut down cross-fault aftershocks (5 citations)

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

Seismology
Fault
Plate tectonics

Ross S. Stein mainly focuses on Seismology, Aftershock, Socioeconomics, Hazard zone and Magnitude. Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, Earthquake swarm, Seismic gap, Seismic microzonation and Large earthquakes are the subjects of his Seismology studies. The various areas that Ross S. Stein examines in his Aftershock study include Mathematical geophysics and Tectonophysics.
