Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Seismology
  • Fault

His main research concerns Seismology, Fault, Plate tectonics, Asthenosphere and Lithosphere. Strike-slip tectonics, Tectonics, Subduction, Induced seismicity and Earthquake rupture are the subjects of his Seismology studies. The study incorporates disciplines such as Shear, Seismic gap, Slip line field and Crust in addition to Strike-slip tectonics.

Range, Scaling and Geodetic datum is closely connected to Magnitude in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Earthquake rupture. His study on Active fault is often connected to Stress field as part of broader study in Fault. He interconnects Epicenter, Rock mechanics, Seismic moment, Aftershock and Spatial distribution in the investigation of issues within Plate tectonics.

His most cited work include:

  • Source parameters of southern California earthquakes (405 citations)
  • Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3 (UCERF3)—The Time‐Independent Model (272 citations)
  • Nonlinear strain buildup and the earthquake cycle on the San Andreas Fault (266 citations)

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

Wayne Thatcher focuses on Seismology, Fault, Geodesy, Lithosphere and Geodetic datum. His Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Shear and Crust. In the subject of general Fault, his work in Strike-slip tectonics, Active fault, Elastic-rebound theory and Earthquake rupture is often linked to Deformation, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His studies in Geodesy integrate themes in fields like Fault slip, Refraction and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar. His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Transition zone and Basin and Range Province. His Geodetic datum study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as San andreas fault and North American Plate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (78.05%)
  • Fault (21.95%)
  • Geodesy (19.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2018)?

  • Seismology (78.05%)
  • Geodesy (19.51%)
  • Earthquake rupture (7.32%)

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

Seismology, Geodesy, Earthquake rupture, Geodetic datum and Lithosphere are his primary areas of study. His study in Shear zone, Seismic hazard, Fault, San andreas fault and Earthquake scenario is done as part of Seismology. His Fault research incorporates elements of Aftershock and Induced seismicity.

His Geodesy research includes elements of Slip rate, Active fault and Geophysics. Wayne Thatcher combines subjects such as Upper crust, Tectonics and Rock mechanics with his study of Geodetic datum. Wayne Thatcher usually deals with Lithosphere and limits it to topics linked to Mantle and Strike-slip tectonics, Simple shear, Crust and Hotspot.

Between 2011 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3 (UCERF3)—The Time‐Independent Model (272 citations)
  • Long‐Term Time‐Dependent Probabilities for the Third Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF3) (117 citations)
  • Uniform California earthquake rupture forecast, version 3 (UCERF3): the time-independent model (71 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Fault
  • Subduction

Wayne Thatcher mainly focuses on Seismology, Earthquake rupture, Geodetic datum, Induced seismicity and Fault. Wayne Thatcher works in the field of Seismology, namely Seismic gap. Many of his studies on Earthquake rupture apply to Statistics as well.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Elastic-rebound theory, Seismic hazard and Asthenosphere. His Induced seismicity research integrates issues from Aftershock, Seismic risk and Earthquake scenario. His Fault study incorporates themes from Range, Scaling and Magnitude.
