What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Optics
- Plate tectonics
- Seismology
Spahr C. Webb mostly deals with Seismology, Seafloor spreading, Mid-ocean ridge, Seismometer and Crust.
His work on Subduction and Seismic wave as part of general Seismology research is frequently linked to Infragravity wave, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Part of his project on Seafloor spreading includes research on Oceanography and Geophysics.
Spahr C. Webb focuses mostly in the field of Mid-ocean ridge, narrowing it down to matters related to Mineralogy and, in some cases, Mantle wedge.
His study in Seismometer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tilt, Geodesy, Geophone, Seismic noise and Noise.
The various areas that he examines in his Crust study include Shear, Shear velocity and Oceanic crust.
His most cited work include:
- Broadband seismology and noise under the ocean (330 citations)
- Imaging the deep seismic structure beneath a mid-ocean ridge : The MELT experiment (265 citations)
- A complex pattern of mantle flow in the Lau backarc (235 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Seafloor spreading, Subduction, Geophysics and Oceanic crust.
His Seismology research is mostly focused on the topic Seismometer.
His studies in Seafloor spreading integrate themes in fields like Volcano, Geodesy, Rift, Amplitude and Ridge.
In the field of Subduction, his study on Mantle wedge overlaps with subjects such as Peninsula.
His research in Geophysics focuses on subjects like Wind wave, which are connected to Surface wave and Waves and shallow water.
His study explores the link between Oceanic crust and topics such as Petrology that cross with problems in Mineralogy.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (70.63%)
- Seafloor spreading (32.87%)
- Subduction (25.87%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Seismology (70.63%)
- Subduction (25.87%)
- Hikurangi Margin (3.50%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Seismology, Subduction, Hikurangi Margin, Ocean bottom and Tectonophysics.
Many of his research projects under Seismology are closely connected to Water cycling with Water cycling, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His research in Subduction intersects with topics in Sediment, Submarine pipeline, Seamount and Crust.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Sediment, Oceanic crust is strongly linked to Petrology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Seafloor spreading and Geodesy in addition to Hikurangi Margin.
His Seafloor spreading research integrates issues from Geodetic datum, Deformation and Noise.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Episodic stress and fluid pressure cycling in subducting oceanic crust during slow slip (37 citations)
- Earthquakes and Tremor Linked to Seamount Subduction During Shallow Slow Slip at the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand (35 citations)
- Tsunamigenic structures in a creeping section of the Alaska subduction zone (23 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Optics
- Plate tectonics
- Wavelength
Spahr C. Webb mainly investigates Subduction, Seismology, Hikurangi Margin, Seamount and Crust.
His studies deal with areas such as Sediment and Petrology as well as Subduction.
His Shear zone study in the realm of Seismology interacts with subjects such as Cycling.
His Hikurangi Margin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Seafloor spreading, Ocean bottom and Deformation.
His research integrates issues of Shear wave splitting, Seismic anisotropy, Anisotropy and Seismometer in his study of Seamount.
Spahr C. Webb has researched Crust in several fields, including Normal fault, Fluid pressure, Large earthquakes, Plate tectonics and Wedge.
