Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Seismology
  • Fault

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Fracture mechanics, Aftershock, Large earthquakes and Subduction. His work in the fields of Seismology, such as Seismic moment, Seismic wave and Induced seismicity, overlaps with other areas such as Creep. The study incorporates disciplines such as Geotechnical engineering, Rock mechanics, Mechanics and Tectonics in addition to Fracture mechanics.

The Aftershock study combines topics in areas such as Fault, Seismogram and Shear stress. As part of the same scientific family, Shamita Das usually focuses on Large earthquakes, concentrating on Spatial relation and intersecting with Stress concentration. His work deals with themes such as Slab, Joint and Seismic zone, which intersect with Subduction.

His most cited work include:

  • Rupture Process of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake (553 citations)
  • Fault plane with barriers: A versatile earthquake model (440 citations)
  • A numerical study of two-dimensional spontaneous rupture propagation (332 citations)

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

Shamita Das spends much of his time researching Seismology, Aftershock, Fault, Earthquake rupture and Subduction. His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Supershear earthquake and Geodesy. His Aftershock research incorporates elements of Intraplate earthquake, Fracture zone, Fault plane and Epicenter.

His Fault research includes elements of Mechanics and Shear stress. He studied Earthquake rupture and Oceanic crust that intersect with Seafloor spreading. His Deep-focus earthquake study in the realm of Subduction interacts with subjects such as Seamount and Bathymetry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (77.14%)
  • Aftershock (25.71%)
  • Fault (21.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Seismology (77.14%)
  • Supershear earthquake (12.86%)
  • Fault (21.43%)

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

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Supershear earthquake, Fault, Subduction and Earthquake rupture. The various areas that he examines in his Seismology study include Hydrogeology and Geodesy. His research investigates the connection with Geodesy and areas like Interplate earthquake which intersect with concerns in Plate tectonics.

The Deep-focus earthquake research he does as part of his general Subduction study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Seamount, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Seismogram study incorporates themes from Ellipse and Dimensionless quantity. His Episodic tremor and slip research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Slab, Earthquake simulation, Aftershock and Geophysical imaging.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Aseismic zone and earthquake segmentation associated with a deep subducted seamount in Sumatra (72 citations)
  • Faulting characteristics of supershear earthquakes (62 citations)
  • Quantitative prediction of strong motion for a potential earthquake fault (39 citations)

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

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry
  • Seismology

Shamita Das mostly deals with Seismology, Earthquake rupture, Fault, Seamount and Subduction. His work focuses on many connections between Seismology and other disciplines, such as Geophysics, that overlap with his field of interest in Supershear earthquake. His studies deal with areas such as Slab and Geophysical imaging as well as Episodic tremor and slip.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Seismic gap and Geodesy. Bathymetry is intertwined with Seafloor spreading, Trough and Oceanic crust in his study. As part of his studies on Interplate earthquake, Shamita Das often connects relevant subjects like Seismogram.
