What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Erosion
Óscar Ferreira focuses on Storm, Hydrology, Coastal erosion, Shore and Geomorphology.
His work carried out in the field of Storm brings together such families of science as Significant wave height, Sediment transport, Submarine pipeline and Overwash.
His Sediment transport study incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock and Breaking wave.
In his study, Stage is strongly linked to Inlet, which falls under the umbrella field of Hydrology.
His Shore study is concerned with Oceanography in general.
His work deals with themes such as Wave period and Surf zone, which intersect with Geomorphology.
His most cited work include:
- An integrated method for the determination of set-back lines for coastal erosion hazards on sandy shores (90 citations)
- Burrowing Behavior of the Introduced Red Swamp Crayfish Procambarus Clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae) in Portugal (79 citations)
- Beach erosion and recovery during consecutive storms at a steep‐sloping, meso‐tidal beach (78 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Oceanography, Storm, Shore and Sediment.
The concepts of his Hydrology study are interwoven with issues in Estuary, Coastal management, Inlet and Overwash.
His study explores the link between Inlet and topics such as Barrier island that cross with problems in Natural.
His Oceanography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock and Peninsula.
His studies examine the connections between Storm and genetics, as well as such issues in Environmental resource management, with regards to Tourism.
Óscar Ferreira works mostly in the field of Shore, limiting it down to topics relating to Erosion and, in certain cases, Berm.
He most often published in these fields:
- Hydrology (31.63%)
- Oceanography (30.61%)
- Storm (22.45%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Storm (22.45%)
- Barrier island (15.82%)
- Hydrology (31.63%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Óscar Ferreira spends much of his time researching Storm, Barrier island, Hydrology, Coastal hazards and Shore.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Return period, Environmental resource management and Aerial photos.
His Barrier island research incorporates themes from Natural, Ecology and Inlet.
His research investigates the connection with Natural and areas like Continental shelf which intersect with concerns in Sediment.
His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Longshore drift and Overwash.
His Shore study is concerned with the field of Oceanography as a whole.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Recent Evolution of the Natural Inlets of a Barrier Island System in Southern Portugal (44 citations)
- Introduction to RISC-KIT: Resilience-increasing strategies for coasts (41 citations)
- Historical analysis of storm events: Case studies in France, England, Portugal and Italy (35 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Erosion
Óscar Ferreira mainly focuses on Storm, Environmental resource management, Coastal management, Coastal hazards and Barrier island.
Óscar Ferreira combines subjects such as Hydrology, Return period and Overwash with his study of Storm.
As a member of one scientific family, Óscar Ferreira mostly works in the field of Hydrology, focusing on Wave height and, on occasion, Erosion, Berm and Shore.
Óscar Ferreira has included themes like Hazard, Beach nourishment and Management science in his Environmental resource management study.
His Barrier island study deals with the bigger picture of Oceanography.
The concepts of his Oceanography study are interwoven with issues in Natural barrier and Structural basin.
