In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Simon L. Klemperer mainly investigates Seismology, Lithosphere, Crust, Mantle and Paleontology.
His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rift, Proterozoic and Terrane.
He interconnects Collision zone, Subduction, Suture, Depth sounding and Petrology in the investigation of issues within Crust.
His studies in Suture integrate themes in fields like Transect and Upwelling.
His Mantle study is related to the wider topic of Geochemistry.
His Subsidence, Quaternary, Geodynamics and East African Rift study in the realm of Paleontology interacts with subjects such as Last Glacial Maximum.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Nonuniform subduction of the Indian crust beneath the Himalayas. (27 citations)
- Deep-seated lithospheric geometry in revealing collapse of the Tibetan Plateau (14 citations)
- Duplex in the Main Himalayan Thrust illuminated by aftershocks of the 2015 M w 7.8 Gorkha earthquake (12 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Optics
- Subduction
Simon L. Klemperer spends much of his time researching Seismology, Crust, Subduction, Lithosphere and Tectonics.
Aftershock, Metamorphic core complex and Passive seismic are the subjects of his Seismology studies.
His study in Crust is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Suture, Depth sounding, Mantle and Collision zone.
His Suture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Slab, Transect and Graben.
His Collision zone research focuses on Eclogitization and how it relates to Petrology.
Simon L. Klemperer has researched Lithosphere in several fields, including Rift and Transition zone.
