2001 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Statistics
  • Machine learning

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Fault, Induced seismicity, Seismic moment and Focal mechanism. William L. Ellsworth connects Seismology with Nucleation in his research. His Fault study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Algorithm, Magnitude, Seismogram and Geodesy.

His Earthquake location study in the realm of Induced seismicity connects with subjects such as Poison control, Bioinformatics and Wastewater disposal. His work carried out in the field of Seismic moment brings together such families of science as Moment and Borehole. His work deals with themes such as Lineation, Plate tectonics, Seismogenic layer, Resampling and System of linear equations, which intersect with Hypocenter.

His most cited work include:

  • A Double-Difference Earthquake Location Algorithm: Method and Application to the Northern Hayward Fault, California (2085 citations)
  • Injection-Induced Earthquakes (1225 citations)
  • Monitoring velocity variations in the crust using earthquake doublets : An application to the Calaveras fault, California (753 citations)

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

William L. Ellsworth spends much of his time researching Seismology, Induced seismicity, Fault, Magnitude and San andreas fault. His Seismology research focuses on Tectonics, Earthquake swarm, Aftershock, San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth and Hypocenter. His Earthquake swarm research incorporates themes from Volcano and Caldera.

His study in the field of Earthquake location is also linked to topics like Fluid injection. His research integrates issues of Seismogram and Geodesy in his study of Fault. William L. Ellsworth undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Magnitude and Displacement in his work.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (77.54%)
  • Induced seismicity (23.31%)
  • Fault (18.64%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Seismology (77.54%)
  • Induced seismicity (23.31%)
  • Fault (18.64%)

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

William L. Ellsworth focuses on Seismology, Induced seismicity, Fault, Distributed acoustic sensing and Artificial intelligence. The study of Seismology is intertwined with the study of Magnitude in a number of ways. William L. Ellsworth has included themes like Hydraulic fracturing, Enhanced geothermal system, Natural and Moment magnitude scale in his Induced seismicity study.

Much of his study explores Fault relationship to Sequence. His work on Deep learning is typically connected to Image based as part of general Artificial intelligence study, connecting several disciplines of science. The Pattern recognition study combines topics in areas such as Artificial neural network and Earthquake detection.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Waveform‐Relocated Earthquake Catalog for Oklahoma and Southern Kansas Illuminates the Regional Fault Network (70 citations)
  • 2017 One‐Year Seismic‐Hazard Forecast for the Central and Eastern United States from Induced and Natural Earthquakes (69 citations)
  • Stress drops of induced and tectonic earthquakes in the central United States are indistinguishable (61 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Seismology
  • Geometry

Seismology, Induced seismicity, Fault, Tectonics and Hydraulic fracturing are his primary areas of study. His work in the fields of Seismology, such as Seismic hazard, Foreshock and Earthquake swarm, intersects with other areas such as Nucleation and Causal link. His Induced seismicity research includes themes of Natural, Epicenter and Geological survey.

William L. Ellsworth focuses mostly in the field of Fault, narrowing it down to matters related to Sequence and, in some cases, Cluster based. His studies examine the connections between Tectonics and genetics, as well as such issues in Ground motion, with regards to Depth of focus, Stress drop and Remotely triggered earthquakes. His Hydraulic fracturing study combines topics in areas such as Seismic noise, Petrology and Groundwater.
