Declining or Waning
- Traditional Seismology Techniques:
There is a noticeable decrease in papers employing conventional seismic analysis methods without integration of modern computational techniques or data-driven approaches, as emphasis shifts towards more innovative methodologies. - Static Modeling Approaches:
The focus on static models for crustal and tectonic studies is diminishing, as researchers increasingly prefer dynamic, time-dependent models that account for the complexities of geological processes. - Generalized Gravity and Magnetic Surveys:
Research specifically centered on basic gravity and magnetic surveys without advanced inversion techniques or integrations with other geophysical data types is becoming less frequent, likely due to the growing importance of multi-disciplinary approaches. - Low-resolution Geophysical Studies:
Papers presenting low-resolution geophysical studies are declining, as there is a stronger emphasis on high-resolution, detailed investigations that provide deeper insights into geological structures and processes.
