Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Tectonics

Her primary scientific interests are in Subduction, Seismology, Tectonics, Crust and Petrology. Her Subduction research incorporates elements of Shear zone, Rift, Plate tectonics and Seismic hazard. Her work on Fault and Induced seismicity is typically connected to Extension as part of general Seismology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Tectonics is frequently linked to Geophysics in her study. Her research integrates issues of Nappe and Eclogitization in her study of Petrology. Her Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fold and Mantle.

Her most cited work include:

  • Crustal flow modes in large hot orogens (223 citations)
  • Mechanical model for subduction-collision tectonics of Alpine-type compressional orogens (168 citations)
  • Collision tectonics in the Swiss Alps: Insight from geodynamic modeling (141 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Subduction, Petrology, Tectonics and Geophysics. Many of her research projects under Seismology are closely connected to New guinea with New guinea, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her studies deal with areas such as Tectonophysics, Slab, Shear zone, Lithosphere and Deformation as well as Subduction.

Her work carried out in the field of Petrology brings together such families of science as Nappe, Seafloor spreading, Mineralogy, Geomorphology and Fluid dynamics. She works mostly in the field of Tectonics, limiting it down to topics relating to Volcano and, in certain cases, Induced seismicity, as a part of the same area of interest. Her Geophysics study which covers Continental collision that intersects with Mantle convection.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (44.80%)
  • Subduction (42.40%)
  • Petrology (30.40%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Subduction (42.40%)
  • Petrology (30.40%)
  • Seismology (44.80%)

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

Her main research concerns Subduction, Petrology, Seismology, New guinea and Deformation. Subduction is a subfield of Tectonics that Susan Ellis explores. In general Tectonics, her work in Rift is often linked to Inheritance linking many areas of study.

The various areas that Susan Ellis examines in her Petrology study include Fluid dynamics, Shear zone and Clastic rock. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Shear zone, Shear stress are connected with Aseismic creep and Shear and other disciplines. Her Seismology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Force balance.

Between 2016 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Triggered Slow Slip and Afterslip on the Southern Hikurangi Subduction Zone Following the Kaikōura Earthquake (41 citations)
  • Strength of Strained Two‐Phase Mixtures: Application to Rapid Creep and Stress Amplification in Subduction Zone Mélange (24 citations)
  • The role of protothrusts in frontal accretion and accommodation of plate convergence, Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand (20 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Sedimentary rock

Subduction, Petrology, Seismology, Normal fault and New guinea are her primary areas of study. To a larger extent, she studies Tectonics with the aim of understanding Subduction. Her work deals with themes such as Fluid dynamics, Consolidation, Seafloor spreading and Seamount, which intersect with Tectonics.

The Petrology study which covers Shear zone that intersects with Aseismic creep and Shear. Susan Ellis interconnects Hinge and Deformation in the investigation of issues within Seismology. Her Normal fault research includes themes of Slipping and Metamorphic core complex.
