- Plate tectonics
- Seismology
His primary areas of study are Seismology, Lithosphere, Aftershock, Subduction and Mantle.
His work on Seismology deals in particular with Strike-slip tectonics and Seismogram.
In his study, Crustal recycling and Seismogenic layer is inextricably linked to Convergent boundary, which falls within the broad field of Lithosphere.
His Aftershock study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fault and Geodesy.
His studies deal with areas such as Induced seismicity and Transition zone as well as Subduction.
His Mantle study incorporates themes from Geothermal gradient, Fault plane and Crust.
His most cited work include:
- Focal depths of intracontinental and intraplate earthquakes and their implications for the thermal and mechanical properties of the lithosphere (888 citations)
- Focal depths and fault plane solutions of earthquakes under the Tibetan plateau (273 citations)
- Seismic moments of major earthquakes and the average rate of slip in central Asia (252 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Wang-Ping Chen mostly deals with Seismology, Lithosphere, Mantle, Crust and Subduction.
His Seismology research incorporates themes from Slab and Geophysics.
In general Lithosphere, his work in Collision zone is often linked to Gaussian beam linking many areas of study.
His Mantle research integrates issues from Geothermal gradient, Continental collision, Hotspot and Oceanic crust.
His studies in Crust integrate themes in fields like Seismometer, Tectonics, Terrane and Archean.
His Subduction study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Olivine, Transition zone and Focal mechanism.
