Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Seismology

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Lithosphere, Mantle, Crust and Subduction. His Receiver function and Suture study in the realm of Seismology interacts with subjects such as Far East and Classification of discontinuities. His work in Lithosphere addresses issues such as Bangong suture, which are connected to fields such as Lithospheric mantle and Obduction.

His Mantle research includes elements of Transition zone, Asthenosphere, Petrology, Seamount and Oceanic crust. His study in Crust is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mohorovičić discontinuity and Volcanic rock. Xiaohui Yuan combines subjects such as Geophysics and Plate tectonics with his study of Lithosphere-Asthenosphere boundary.

His most cited work include:

  • Seismic Images of Crust and Upper Mantle Beneath Tibet: Evidence for Eurasian Plate Subduction (480 citations)
  • Seismic Evidence for a Detached Indian Lithospheric Mantle Beneath Tibet (313 citations)
  • Lithospheric and upper mantle structure of southern Tibet from a seismological passive source experiment (308 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Lithosphere, Subduction, Crust and Mantle. His work on Receiver function, Low-velocity zone and Induced seismicity as part of general Seismology research is frequently linked to Classification of discontinuities, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work deals with themes such as Craton and Geophysics, which intersect with Lithosphere.

His work carried out in the field of Subduction brings together such families of science as Continental crust and Transition zone. His Crust study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Suture, Tectonics, Terrane and Petrology. His Mantle study combines topics in areas such as Mantle wedge and Continental margin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (66.01%)
  • Lithosphere (47.29%)
  • Subduction (30.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Seismology (66.01%)
  • Lithosphere (47.29%)
  • Subduction (30.05%)

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

Xiaohui Yuan mainly investigates Seismology, Lithosphere, Subduction, Crust and Plateau. Xiaohui Yuan undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Seismology and Classification of discontinuities in his work. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Slab, Mantle and Anisotropy.

His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Rayleigh wave, Shore and Mantle wedge. His Subduction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Seismic zone, Structural geology, Continental crust, Petrology and Caldera. His study looks at the relationship between Crust and topics such as Receiver function, which overlap with Transition zone, Seismic noise and Computational seismology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Crust in the Pamir: Insights from Receiver Functions (14 citations)
  • New insights into the structural elements of the upper mantle beneath the contiguous United States from S-to-P converted seismic waves (7 citations)
  • Complex structure of upper mantle beneath the Yadong-Gulu rift in Tibet revealed by S-to-P converted waves (7 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Seismology

Xiaohui Yuan spends much of his time researching Seismology, Crust, Lithosphere, Slab and Subduction. His studies link Body waves with Seismology. Xiaohui Yuan interconnects Wave propagation, Receiver function and Low-velocity zone in the investigation of issues within Crust.

In his work, Shore and Suture is strongly intertwined with Mantle, which is a subfield of Lithosphere. As a part of the same scientific family, Xiaohui Yuan mostly works in the field of Slab, focusing on Continental collision and, on occasion, Deformation, Penetration depth, Asthenosphere and Rift. His work on Oceanic crust as part of general Subduction study is frequently linked to Polarity, bridging the gap between disciplines.
