Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Seismology
  • Law

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Mantle, Geophysics, Geodesy and Transition zone. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Magnitude and Seismology. His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Subduction, Inner core, Oceanic basin, Low-velocity zone and Ridge.

His research integrates issues of Amplitude, Shear waves and Seismogram in his study of Geophysics. Thomas H. Jordan has included themes like Mesoplates, Tectonics, Inverse problem and Angular velocity in his Geodesy study. The various areas that Thomas H. Jordan examines in his Transition zone study include Mantle convection and Classification of discontinuities.

His most cited work include:

  • Present‐day plate motions (1960 citations)
  • Numerical Modelling of Instantaneous Plate Tectonics (694 citations)
  • Composition and development of the continental tectosphere (648 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Geophysics, Mantle, Seismic hazard and Seismogram. His study in Seismology concentrates on Induced seismicity, Earthquake rupture, Ground motion, Tectonics and Aftershock. His research ties Geodesy and Tectonics together.

Thomas H. Jordan interconnects Convection and Lithosphere, Asthenosphere in the investigation of issues within Geophysics. His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Classification of discontinuities, Discontinuity, Mantle convection and Transition zone. His Seismic hazard research includes themes of Earthquake prediction and Seismic risk.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (42.90%)
  • Geophysics (13.91%)
  • Mantle (13.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Seismology (42.90%)
  • Seismic hazard (11.88%)
  • Earthquake forecasting (4.93%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Seismic hazard, Earthquake forecasting, Earthquake rupture and Predictability. His work in the fields of Seismology, such as Induced seismicity, Seismogram and Aftershock, overlaps with other areas such as Physics based and Sequence. His Seismogram research also works with subjects such as

  • Numerical analysis together with Finite element method, Amplitude and Finite difference method,
  • Wave propagation which is related to area like Synthetic seismogram.

His study on Seismic hazard also encompasses disciplines like

  • Seismic risk together with Earthquake scenario and Scale,

  • Computational science, Petascale computing and Scalability most often made with reference to Earthquake simulation. The concepts of his Earthquake rupture study are interwoven with issues in Open interval, Hypocenter and Statistics. His research on Predictability also deals with topics like

  • Earthquake prediction that connect with fields like Urban seismic risk and Meteorology,

  • Probabilistic forecasting, which have a strong connection to Bayesian probability.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3 (UCERF3)—The Time‐Independent Model (272 citations)
  • Mineralogies, Densities and Seismic Velocities of Garnet Lherzolites and their Geophysical Implications (267 citations)
  • OPERATIONAL EARTHQUAKE FORECASTING. State of Knowledge and Guidelines for Utilization (238 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Seismology
  • Optics

Thomas H. Jordan spends much of his time researching Seismology, Induced seismicity, Earthquake rupture, Seismogram and Predictability. His work in Seismology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Wave propagation. His studies in Induced seismicity integrate themes in fields like Inversion, Magnitude, Earthquake forecast, Aftershock and Scaling.

His Earthquake rupture research includes elements of Geological survey, Segmentation, Sensitivity analyses and Computation tree logic. While the research belongs to areas of Seismogram, he spends his time largely on the problem of Numerical analysis, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Time series, Finite element method, Amplitude and Finite difference method. The study incorporates disciplines such as Data mining, Data processing, Econometrics, Collaboratory and Probabilistic forecasting in addition to Predictability.
