1996 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Phoenix, Urban heat island, Urban climate, Ecology and Urbanization. His Phoenix study spans across into fields like Land use, Metropolitan area, Urban planning, Thermal comfort and Sustainability. His work in Urban heat island addresses issues such as Hydrology, which are connected to fields such as Meteorology.

Anthony Brazel interconnects Deserts and xeric shrublands and Environmental engineering in the investigation of issues within Urban climate. His Ecology study frequently links to related topics such as Physical geography. Anthony Brazel focuses mostly in the field of Urbanization, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ecosystem and, in certain cases, Human settlement and Urban area.

His most cited work include:

  • Per-pixel vs. object-based classification of urban land cover extraction using high spatial resolution imagery (792 citations)
  • Neighborhood microclimates and vulnerability to heat stress (602 citations)
  • Urban bioacoustics: it's not just noise (312 citations)

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

Anthony Brazel spends much of his time researching Phoenix, Urban heat island, Climatology, Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences. Along with Phoenix, other disciplines of study including Vegetation, Land use, Metropolitan area, Land cover and Ecology are integrated into his research. While the research belongs to areas of Land use, Anthony Brazel spends his time largely on the problem of Hydrology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Arid.

His Urban heat island study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Urban climate, Urbanization, Urban planning, Physical geography and Microclimate. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Elevation and Dust storm. His Atmospheric sciences research includes themes of Storm, Radiation and Thermal.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Phoenix (29.61%)
  • Urban heat island (25.00%)
  • Climatology (19.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Phoenix (29.61%)
  • Urban heat island (25.00%)
  • Climatology (19.08%)

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

Anthony Brazel mainly investigates Phoenix, Urban heat island, Climatology, Physical geography and Urban climate. Other disciplines of study, such as Vegetation, Meteorology, Impervious surface, Metropolitan area and Ecology, are mixed together with his Phoenix studies. He has researched Urban heat island in several fields, including Land cover, Land use, Urbanization and Microclimate.

His work carried out in the field of Land cover brings together such families of science as Remote sensing and Remote sensing. His study in Land use is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrology, Water use and Urban planning. His Urbanization research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Socioeconomics and Environmental planning.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Per-pixel vs. object-based classification of urban land cover extraction using high spatial resolution imagery (792 citations)
  • Impact of urban form and design on mid-afternoon microclimate in Phoenix Local Climate Zones (292 citations)
  • Sea-Level Change (136 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

His primary areas of investigation include Urban heat island, Phoenix, Physical geography, Impervious surface and Urban climate. His research integrates issues of Environmental engineering, Land use, Urban planning, Arid and Microclimate in his study of Urban heat island. Anthony Brazel integrates many fields, such as Phoenix and engineering, in his works.

His research in Physical geography intersects with topics in Subdivision and Spatial analysis. In his study, Lawn, Lapse rate, Xeriscaping and Thermal comfort is inextricably linked to Deserts and xeric shrublands, which falls within the broad field of Urban climate. Anthony Brazel works mostly in the field of Climatology, limiting it down to topics relating to Extreme weather and, in certain cases, Land cover.
