2013 - Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Fault, Plate tectonics, Subduction and Strike-slip tectonics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Seafloor spreading and Pressure gradient in addition to Seismology. His research in the fields of Active fault overlaps with other disciplines such as Hydraulic seal.

His study on Plate tectonics is covered under Paleontology. His Subduction and Episodic tremor and slip and Hikurangi Margin investigations all form part of his Subduction research activities. His Pacific Plate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cretaceous, Shear, Orocline and Terrane.

His most cited work include:

  • Prediction of Emperor-Hawaii seamount locations from a revised model of global plate motion and mantle flow (273 citations)
  • The Australia‐Pacific boundary and Cenozoic plate motions in the SW Pacific: Some constraints from Geosat data (235 citations)
  • Basement geology and tectonic development of the greater New Zealand region: an interpretation from regional magnetic data (218 citations)

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

Rupert Sutherland focuses on Seismology, Subduction, Fault, Paleontology and Tectonics. Seismology is frequently linked to Crust in his study. The Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Ridge and Lithosphere.

His Fault study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Petrology, Geomorphology and Borehole. His Plate tectonics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Convergent boundary and Pacific Plate. His Strike-slip tectonics research integrates issues from Transform fault, Sinistral and dextral, Shear, Shear zone and Fault scarp.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (50.47%)
  • Subduction (35.51%)
  • Fault (34.58%)

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

  • Subduction (35.51%)
  • Fault (34.58%)
  • Seismology (50.47%)

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

Rupert Sutherland mainly focuses on Subduction, Fault, Seismology, Paleontology and Tectonics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rift, Plate tectonics, Tectonophysics, Lithosphere and Ridge. His Plate tectonics research includes themes of Pacific Plate and Deformation.

Rupert Sutherland combines subjects such as Geochemistry, Mylonite, Petrology and Borehole with his study of Fault. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Seismology and Forensic engineering. In his work, Trough is strongly intertwined with Cenozoic, which is a subfield of Tectonics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Zealandia: Earth’s Hidden Continent (121 citations)
  • Extreme hydrothermal conditions at an active plate-bounding fault (55 citations)
  • Extreme hydrothermal conditions at an active plate-bounding fault (55 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Subduction

Rupert Sutherland mainly investigates Fault, Tectonics, Subduction, Petrology and Mylonite. His Fault study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Facies. Rupert Sutherland works mostly in the field of Tectonics, limiting it down to concerns involving Cenozoic and, occasionally, Seismology and Trough.

His research investigates the link between Subduction and topics such as Plate tectonics that cross with problems in Pacific Plate. Rupert Sutherland usually deals with Petrology and limits it to topics linked to Borehole and Earthquake rupture and Active fault. His Mylonite research incorporates themes from Sinistral and dextral, Schist, Geochemistry, Calcite and Strike-slip tectonics.
