Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Meteorology
  • Global warming

Francois Engelbrecht mainly focuses on Climatology, Temperate climate, Climate model, Climate change and Period. His work on Forcing, Tropical cyclone and Landfall as part of his general Climatology study is frequently connected to Drainage basin and Surface conditions, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His research in Forcing intersects with topics in Transient climate simulation, Downscaling and Meteorology, Atmospheric model.

Temperate climate is intertwined with Biome, Desert climate, Semi-arid climate and Steppe in his research. His Climate model research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of General Circulation Model, Sea surface temperature, Atmospheric models and Atmospheric sciences. Francois Engelbrecht merges many fields, such as Climate change and Subtropics, in his writings.

His most cited work include:

  • Projections of rapidly rising surface temperatures over Africa under low mitigation. (145 citations)
  • Projections of rapidly rising surface temperatures over Africa under low mitigation. (145 citations)
  • Multi-scale climate modelling over Southern Africa using a variable-resolution global model (83 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Climate change, Meteorology, Climate model and Atmospheric sciences. The various areas that Francois Engelbrecht examines in his Climatology study include Oceanography and Atmospheric model. His Oceanography research focuses on Southern Hemisphere and how it relates to Hadley cell.

His Extreme weather, Extreme events and Political economy of climate change study in the realm of Climate change interacts with subjects such as Bridging. His Climate model study often links to related topics such as Downscaling. Francois Engelbrecht interconnects Atmosphere and Atmospheric models in the investigation of issues within Atmospheric sciences.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (90.00%)
  • Climate change (44.00%)
  • Meteorology (26.00%)

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

  • Climatology (90.00%)
  • Seasonality (22.00%)
  • Physical geography (12.00%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Seasonality, Physical geography, Last Glacial Maximum and Subtropics. His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hadley cell and Climate change. His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Weather forecasting and Numerical weather prediction.

Last Glacial Maximum is connected with Escarpment, Downscaling, Cape, Fold and Climate model in his study. The concepts of his Weather and climate study are interwoven with issues in Atmospheric model, Heat wave, Greenhouse gas and Future climate. Francois Engelbrecht combines subjects such as Regional science and Earth system science with his study of Southern Hemisphere.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Winter Is Coming: A Southern Hemisphere Perspective of the Environmental Drivers of SARS-CoV-2 and the Potential Seasonality of COVID-19. (36 citations)
  • Downscaling Last Glacial Maximum climate over southern Africa (21 citations)
  • Downscaling Last Glacial Maximum climate over southern Africa (21 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Meteorology
  • Global warming

Francois Engelbrecht mainly investigates Seasonality, Last Glacial Maximum, Physical geography, Escarpment and Downscaling. Combining a variety of fields, including Seasonality, Demography, Pandemic and Transmission, are what the author presents in his essays. There are a combination of areas like Outbreak, Biology, Herd immunity, Range and Boreal integrated together with his Demography study.

Pandemic overlaps with fields such as Climate sensitivity, Perspective, Disease and Southern Hemisphere in his research. His Last Glacial Maximum investigation overlaps with other areas such as Grassland and Fire regime. Among his Escarpment studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Cape, Climate model and Fold.
