Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Oceanography
  • Mechanics

Marcel J. F. Stive mainly focuses on Oceanography, Mechanics, Shore, Geotechnical engineering and Hydrology. His Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Longshore drift, Sediment transport, Beach morphodynamics and Marine transgression. The study incorporates disciplines such as Shoaling and schooling, Meander, Barrier island and Estuary in addition to Sediment transport.

His study in the field of Surf zone and Turbulence also crosses realms of Dissipation and Wave shoaling. His Shore research integrates issues from Cartography and Undertow. The concepts of his Hydrology study are interwoven with issues in Applied mathematics, Sediment, Shoal and Acceleration factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Calibration and Verification of a Dissipation Model for Random Breaking Waves (339 citations)
  • Bar-generating cross-shore flow mechanisms on a beach (325 citations)
  • Approaches to long-term modelling of coastal morphology : A review (236 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Sediment, Oceanography, Sediment transport and Erosion. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vegetation, Climate change, Ecosystem and Salt marsh. The Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Estuary and Grain size.

His work on Shore and Monsoon as part of general Oceanography research is frequently linked to Visual detection and Ripple marks, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Sediment transport research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Scale, Point, Shoal and Applied mathematics. Marcel J. F. Stive focuses mostly in the field of Surf zone, narrowing it down to topics relating to Magnitude and, in certain cases, Hindcast and Mechanics.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Initial spreading of a mega feeder nourishment : Observations of the Sand Engine pilot project (87 citations)
  • Short-term mudflat dynamics drive long-term cyclic salt marsh dynamics (65 citations)
  • Coastal Mangrove Squeeze in the Mekong Delta (58 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Sediment, Erosion, Vegetation and Coastal erosion. Marcel J. F. Stive studies Hydrology, focusing on Beach nourishment in particular. The various areas that he examines in his Sediment study include Boundary layer thickness, Silt, Oceanography and Grain size.

His Oceanography research integrates issues from Canopy, Flood myth, Flooding and Temporal scales. His Vegetation study also includes

  • Ecosystem, which have a strong connection to Wetland, Spatial variability, Disturbance, Channel and Marsh,
  • Salt marsh which intersects with area such as Elevation, Climate change and Estuary. His Coastal erosion study incorporates themes from Deposition, Physical geography and Extraction.
