Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Optics
  • Geophysics

Sidao Ni focuses on Seismology, Mantle, Shear, Geophysics and Aftershock. His work in Seismology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Rayleigh wave. His Mantle study incorporates themes from East African Rift and Indian ocean.

His Shear research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mineralogy, Broadband and Latitude, Geodesy. His work on Synthetic seismogram as part of general Geophysics study is frequently linked to Earth, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work in Aftershock addresses issues such as Slip, which are connected to fields such as Trough, Plate tectonics, Seismogram and Submarine pipeline.

His most cited work include:

  • Rupture Process of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake (553 citations)
  • Rupture Process of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake (553 citations)
  • Sharp sides to the African superplume. (314 citations)

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

Sidao Ni mostly deals with Seismology, Mantle, Geodesy, Aftershock and Rayleigh wave. His Seismology research integrates issues from Amplitude and Surface wave. His studies in Mantle integrate themes in fields like Crust, Plume, Upwelling and Anisotropy.

His Aftershock research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Slip, Hypocenter, Fault and Inversion. His research in Slip is mostly concerned with Seismic moment. The study incorporates disciplines such as Seismic wave and Coda in addition to Seismogram.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (72.88%)
  • Mantle (20.34%)
  • Geodesy (16.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Seismology (72.88%)
  • Ambient noise level (7.34%)
  • Mantle (20.34%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Ambient noise level, Mantle, Geophysics and Sequence. Sidao Ni undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Seismology and Directivity in his work. Sidao Ni has included themes like Attenuation and Seismic wave in his Mantle study.

Sidao Ni interconnects Seismic tomography, Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces, Stishovite and Scale in the investigation of issues within Seismic wave. His study in Geophysics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Surface finish, Circulation and Oceanic crust. As a member of one scientific family, Sidao Ni mostly works in the field of Inversion, focusing on Rayleigh wave and, on occasion, Seismic array.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Inferring Earth’s discontinuous chemical layering from the 660-kilometer boundary topography (18 citations)
  • Teleseismic Waveform Complexities Caused by Near Trench Structures and Their Impacts on Earthquake Source Study: Application to the 2015 Illapel Aftershocks (Central Chile) (8 citations)
  • Rupture Directivity of the 2019 Mw 5.8 Changning, Sichuan, China, Earthquake and Implication for Induced Seismicity (4 citations)

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

  • Seismology
  • Optics
  • Wavelength

His main research concerns Seismology, Seismic wave, Geophysics, Mantle and Mineralogy. Induced seismicity and Aftershock are the primary areas of interest in his Seismology study. The various areas that he examines in his Seismic wave study include Surface finish, Mantle convection, Amplitude, Tangential and normal components and Attenuation.

His studies deal with areas such as Circulation and Scale as well as Geophysics. His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Subduction, Oceanic crust, Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces and Stishovite. In his works, Sidao Ni undertakes multidisciplinary study on Mineralogy and Phase.
