earthquake and tectonic studies
earthquake and tectonic studies is a research topic within Geophysics. Science Explorer counts 87k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the study of seismic activity, tectonic plate interactions, and the geodetic measurements used to understand earthquake mechanisms, fault zones, subduction processes, and seismic hazard assessment. It covers topics such as slow slip events, fault frictional properties, seismic deformation, and the impact of geodetic measurements on understanding tectonic motion.
