Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Meteorology

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Stratification, Hypoxia, Plume and Nutrient. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including River water and Temporal scales. His Stratification research integrates issues from Hydrology, Estuary and Drag.

In the subject of general Plume, his work in Panache is often linked to Large range, thereby combining diverse domains of study. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Nutrient, Eutrophication, Discharge, Phytoplankton and Dead zone is strongly linked to Organic matter. His studies deal with areas such as Current, Water mass, Hydrographic survey and Anticyclone as well as Continental shelf.

His most cited work include:

  • The science of hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: a review. (245 citations)
  • How does the character of oxygen demand control the structure of hypoxia on the Texas–Louisiana continental shelf? (168 citations)
  • True Colors of Oceanography: Guidelines for Effective and Accurate Colormap Selection (156 citations)

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

Robert D. Hetland spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Plume, Hypoxia, Continental shelf and Hydrology. His Oceanography course of study focuses on Discharge and Buoyancy. Robert D. Hetland interconnects Water mass and Atmospheric sciences in the investigation of issues within Plume.

His Continental shelf research incorporates elements of Climatology, Anticyclone, Eddy, Jet and Hydrography. The concepts of his Hydrology study are interwoven with issues in Sediment transport, Estuary, Estuarine water circulation, Bay and Inflow. His research in Estuary intersects with topics in Streamflow and Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (40.40%)
  • Plume (21.21%)
  • Hypoxia (19.19%)

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

  • Regional Ocean Modeling System (12.12%)
  • Oceanography (40.40%)
  • Advection (9.09%)

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

Robert D. Hetland mostly deals with Regional Ocean Modeling System, Oceanography, Advection, Atmospheric sciences and Bathymetry. His Regional Ocean Modeling System study combines topics in areas such as Estuary, Ocean dynamics and Plume. His Plume research includes themes of Sediment transport, Sediment and Petroleum engineering.

While working on this project, Robert D. Hetland studies both Oceanography and Hypoxia. His study in Atmospheric sciences is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Wind forcing and River plume. His Bathymetry research incorporates themes from Continental shelf and Anticyclone.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • On Mechanisms Controlling the Seasonal Hypoxia Hot Spots off the Changjiang River Estuary (14 citations)
  • Localized hypoxia may have caused coral reef mortality at the Flower Garden Banks (5 citations)
  • Temporal Resolution of Wind Forcing Required for River Plume Simulations (5 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Meteorology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Hypoxia, River plume, Wind forcing and Temporal resolution. His Oceanography study often links to related topics such as Changjiang river. His Hypoxia study spans across into subjects like Coral, Hydrography, Water column, Salinity and Coral reef.

His research combines Atmospheric sciences and River plume.
