Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

Fault, Seismology, Glacier, Strike-slip tectonics and Active fault are his primary areas of study. His Fault study introduces a deeper knowledge of Paleontology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hydrogeology and Permeability in addition to Seismology.

His Glacier research focuses on Glacial period and how it connects with Erosion rate, Bedrock, Physical geography, Abrasion and Erosion and tectonics. He combines subjects such as Earthquake rupture, Seismic gap and Aseismic slip with his study of Strike-slip tectonics. His Active fault research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fault trace and Seismic hazard.

His most cited work include:

  • Variations in exhumation level and uplift rate along the obliqu-slip Alpine fault, central Southern Alps, New Zealand (148 citations)
  • Do great earthquakes occur on the Alpine fault in central South Island, New Zealand? (119 citations)
  • Drilling reveals fluid control on architecture and rupture of the Alpine fault, New Zealand (113 citations)

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

His main research concerns Fault, Seismology, Geochemistry, Geomorphology and Metamorphic rock. His study looks at the relationship between Fault and fields such as Petrology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Biotite and Pluton.

Simon C. Cox combines subjects such as Hornblende and Mafic with his study of Pluton. The study incorporates disciplines such as Aftershock, Peak ground acceleration, Pacific Plate and Schist in addition to Geomorphology. His research investigates the connection with Metamorphic rock and areas like Metamorphism which intersect with concerns in Erosion, Mineralogy and Lineation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fault (35.79%)
  • Seismology (30.53%)
  • Geochemistry (26.32%)

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

  • Seismology (30.53%)
  • Fault (35.79%)
  • Aquifer (10.53%)

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

Simon C. Cox mainly investigates Seismology, Fault, Aquifer, Geomorphology and Geochemistry. Many of his research projects under Seismology are closely connected to High resolution with High resolution, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His studies deal with areas such as Fission track dating, Petrology and Borehole as well as Fault.

His research on Aquifer also deals with topics like

  • Water level that connect with fields like Water resources,
  • Hydrogeology that connect with fields like Active fault and Crust. His study on Glacial period is often connected to Spatial ecology as part of broader study in Geomorphology. When carried out as part of a general Geochemistry research project, his work on Metamorphic rock and Illite is frequently linked to work in Supplementary data and Electron backscatter diffraction, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Landslides Triggered by the 14 November 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake, New Zealand (61 citations)
  • Surface Rupture of Multiple Crustal Faults in the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura, New Zealand, Earthquake (57 citations)
  • Extreme hydrothermal conditions at an active plate-bounding fault (55 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Fault, Borehole, Petrology and Seismic hazard. He works in the field of Seismology, focusing on Landslide in particular. Simon C. Cox is interested in Earthquake rupture, which is a field of Fault.

His Earthquake rupture study combines topics in areas such as Hydrogeology, Geothermal gradient, Active fault and Crust. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Shear, Schist and Geomorphology. His Seismic hazard study also includes fields such as

  • Surface rupture, which have a strong connection to Seafloor spreading and Subduction,
  • Seismic moment which connect with Tectonics.
