Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Statistics
  • Fault

Yehuda Ben-Zion mostly deals with Seismology, Fault, Slip, Mechanics and Induced seismicity. His Seismology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Waveform and Crust. His Fault research includes elements of Geophysics, Geodesy, Hypocenter, Power law and Seismogram.

The Elastic-rebound theory research Yehuda Ben-Zion does as part of his general Slip study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Coulomb, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Stress, Classical mechanics, Fracture mechanics and Optics in addition to Mechanics. His research in Induced seismicity intersects with topics in Stress field and Scaling.

His most cited work include:

  • Elastodynamic analysis for slow tectonic loading with spontaneous rupture episodes on faults with rate‐ and state‐dependent friction (388 citations)
  • Characterization of Fault Zones (384 citations)
  • Wrinkle‐like slip pulse on a fault between different materials (319 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Fault, Slip, Induced seismicity and Mechanics. The Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Wave propagation, Waveform and Crust. The concepts of his Fault study are interwoven with issues in Geometry, Tectonics, Power law and Geodesy.

His work carried out in the field of Slip brings together such families of science as Shear and Granular material. His research on Induced seismicity focuses in particular on Hypocenter. Yehuda Ben-Zion usually deals with Mechanics and limits it to topics linked to Brittleness and Rheology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (63.48%)
  • Fault (26.20%)
  • Slip (14.61%)

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

  • Seismology (63.48%)
  • Crust (8.06%)
  • Fault (26.20%)

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

Yehuda Ben-Zion spends much of his time researching Seismology, Crust, Fault, Induced seismicity and Brittleness. His Seismology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seismic tomography and Tomography. His research investigates the link between Seismic tomography and topics such as Wave propagation that cross with problems in Seismic array.

His Crust study incorporates themes from Earthquake rupture and Tectonics. His Fault research incorporates themes from Amplitude and Foreshock. His work is dedicated to discovering how Brittleness, Petrology are connected with Lithosphere and other disciplines.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Seismic velocity reduction and accelerated recovery due to earthquakes on the Longmenshan fault (29 citations)
  • Train Traffic as a Powerful Noise Source for Monitoring Active Faults With Seismic Interferometry. (27 citations)
  • Shallow three-dimensional structure of the San Jacinto fault zone revealed from ambient noise imaging with a dense seismic array (22 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Seismology
  • Mathematical analysis

Yehuda Ben-Zion focuses on Seismology, Tomography, Fault, Crust and Plate tectonics. His Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Wave propagation, Seismic tomography and Seismic interferometry. His research links Amplitude with Fault.

His Crust study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Slip, Earthquake rupture, Stress and Tectonics. His Plate tectonics research integrates issues from Geometry and Eikonal equation. His San andreas fault research focuses on Induced seismicity and how it relates to Stress field.
