Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Law

Land use, Land cover, Amazon rainforest, Remote sensing and Environmental resource management are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Deforestation, Pearl river delta, Local scale, Scale and Population growth in addition to Land use. To a larger extent, he studies Ecology with the aim of understanding Land cover.

His Amazon rainforest research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Secondary succession and Tropics. His Remote sensing and Lidar study in the realm of Remote sensing connects with subjects such as Reference data. His study in Environmental resource management is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Land use, land-use change and forestry, Environmental change, Climate change, Urban ecology and Sustainability.

His most cited work include:

  • The causes of land-use and land-cover change: moving beyond the myths (2453 citations)
  • Change detection techniques (2072 citations)
  • Complexity of coupled human and natural systems (2011 citations)

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

Emilio F. Moran mostly deals with Amazon rainforest, Land use, Land cover, Remote sensing and Environmental resource management. His Amazon rainforest study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Secondary succession and Agriculture. Emilio F. Moran studies Land use, land-use change and forestry, a branch of Land use.

His work carried out in the field of Land cover brings together such families of science as Cartography and Vegetation. The Remote sensing study combines topics in areas such as Image resolution and Pixel. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental change and Sustainability.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Amazon rainforest (27.76%)
  • Land use (24.49%)
  • Land cover (20.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Amazon rainforest (27.76%)
  • Land use (24.49%)
  • Agriculture (11.43%)

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

Emilio F. Moran spends much of his time researching Amazon rainforest, Land use, Agriculture, Sustainability and Deforestation. He has researched Amazon rainforest in several fields, including Hydroelectricity and Water resource management. His research integrates issues of Environmental resource management and Biome in his study of Land use.

His work on Land use, land-use change and forestry and Food security as part of general Agriculture research is frequently linked to Business, bridging the gap between disciplines. Emilio F. Moran combines subjects such as Interconnectivity, Environmental planning, Private sector, Corporate governance and Hydropower with his study of Sustainability. His Deforestation research includes elements of Urbanization and Environmental protection.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sustainable hydropower in the 21st century (124 citations)
  • Mapping croplands, cropping patterns, and crop types using MODIS time-series data (44 citations)
  • The Sino-Brazilian telecoupled soybean system and cascading effects for the exporting country. (42 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Law

His main research concerns Land use, Deforestation, Amazon rainforest, Agriculture and Urbanization. Emilio F. Moran is studying Land cover, which is a component of Land use. His Land cover research includes themes of Cartography and Cropping.

The various areas that Emilio F. Moran examines in his Deforestation study include Change detection, Image differencing, Satellite imagery and Environmental protection. Emilio F. Moran has included themes like Socioeconomic status and Hydroelectricity in his Amazon rainforest study. His Environmental resource management research focuses on Famine and how it relates to Sustainability.
