Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Statistics
  • Wavelength

Robert T. Guza mainly investigates Surf zone, Breaking wave, Meteorology, Wind wave and Wave height. His studies deal with areas such as Reflection, Swell, Wavelength and Longshore drift as well as Surf zone. In his study, Infragravity wave is strongly linked to Seismology, which falls under the umbrella field of Swell.

His Breaking wave research includes elements of Edge wave, Mechanics, Swash and Mechanical wave. Robert T. Guza interconnects Current, Surface wave, Waves and shallow water and Atmospheric sciences in the investigation of issues within Meteorology. His study in Wind wave is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Beat, Shore and Wave shoaling.

His most cited work include:

  • Transformation of wave height distribution (709 citations)
  • Edge waves and beach cusps (392 citations)
  • Swash oscillations on a natural beach (349 citations)

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

Robert T. Guza spends much of his time researching Surf zone, Wind wave, Swell, Breaking wave and Meteorology. His Surf zone research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Wave setup, Shore, Wave height and Geodesy. His Wind wave study also includes

  • Wave shoaling that intertwine with fields like Geotechnical engineering,
  • Optics, which have a strong connection to Computational physics and Edge wave.

Robert T. Guza has researched Swell in several fields, including Wave propagation, Infragravity wave, Buoy and Seismology, Microseism. Robert T. Guza focuses mostly in the field of Breaking wave, narrowing it down to topics relating to Mechanics and, in certain cases, Shoaling and schooling. His Meteorology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dispersion, Range, Plage, Current and Waves and shallow water.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surf zone (24.43%)
  • Wind wave (23.08%)
  • Swell (19.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Oceanography (17.19%)
  • Shore (14.93%)
  • Submarine pipeline (11.76%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Shore, Submarine pipeline, Swell and Hydrology. His study in the field of Beach nourishment and Bathymetry also crosses realms of Cobble. His work focuses on many connections between Submarine pipeline and other disciplines, such as Mode, that overlap with his field of interest in Seiche, Empirical orthogonal functions and Amplitude.

His Swell study combines topics in areas such as Wave height, Ray tracing, Meteorology, Wind wave and Seismology. His Meteorology study incorporates themes from Dispersion and Surf zone. Surf zone and Wave setup are frequently intertwined in his study.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Equilibrium shoreline response of a high wave energy beach (69 citations)
  • Effect of wave frequency and directional spread on shoreline runup (57 citations)
  • SWAN predictions of waves observed in shallow water onshore of complex bathymetry (53 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Oceanography
  • Geometry

Swell, Meteorology, Geomorphology, Seismology and Shore are his primary areas of study. He interconnects Significant wave height and Wind wave in the investigation of issues within Swell. His Meteorology research includes themes of Canyon, Wave height, Bathymetry and Surf zone.

His work carried out in the field of Bathymetry brings together such families of science as Waves and shallow water, Geophysics and Wave shoaling. His Surf zone research integrates issues from Dispersion and Wave setup. His work deals with themes such as Infragravity wave, Breaking wave and Degrees of freedom, which intersect with Seismology.
