What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Climate change
- Psychology
- Sustainability
His primary areas of study are Environmental resource management, Natural hazard, Climate change, Risk analysis and Environmental planning. Environmental resource management is frequently linked to Sustainable development in his study. The Political economy of climate change and Mean radiant temperature research he does as part of his general Climate change study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as The Conceptual Framework and Conceptual basis, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His Risk analysis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vulnerability assessment and Cartography. His Vulnerability assessment study combines topics in areas such as Social change and Adaptive capacity. In general Environmental planning study, his work on Spatial planning often relates to the realm of Information system, Early warning system and Alternative development, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His most cited work include:
- The roads ahead: Narratives for shared socioeconomic pathways describing world futures in the 21st century (721 citations)
- Resilience and vulnerability: Complementary or conflicting concepts? (584 citations)
- Measuring Vulnerability to Natural Hazards: towards disaster resilient societies (501 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental planning, Environmental resource management, Natural hazard, Climate change and Context. Joern Birkmann has included themes like Hazard, Urban planning and Sustainable development in his Environmental planning study. His Environmental resource management study incorporates themes from Risk assessment, Political economy of climate change, Risk analysis and Adaptive capacity.
His work in Natural hazard incorporates the disciplines of Risk management, Vulnerability assessment, Emergency management, Development economics and Order. By researching both Vulnerability assessment and Conceptual framework, Joern Birkmann produces research that crosses academic boundaries. His work on Extreme events as part of general Climate change study is frequently linked to Political science, Process and The Conceptual Framework, bridging the gap between disciplines.
He most often published in these fields:
- Environmental planning (44.83%)
- Environmental resource management (31.90%)
- Natural hazard (31.03%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Environmental planning (44.83%)
- Context (20.69%)
- Disaster risk reduction (14.66%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Joern Birkmann mainly focuses on Environmental planning, Context, Disaster risk reduction, Socioeconomics and Livelihood. His Environmental planning research includes themes of Strategic planning and Urban planning. His Urban planning research includes themes of Managed retreat, Urbanization and Sustainable development.
His Livelihood research integrates issues from Socioeconomic development, Private sector and Community resilience. In his works, Joern Birkmann performs multidisciplinary study on Recreation and Natural hazard. His research on Climate change often connects related topics like Risk management.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Assessing relationship between vulnerability and capacity: An empirical study on rural flooding in Pakistan (26 citations)
- Integrated Assessment of Natural Hazards, Including Climate Change’s Influences, for Cultural Heritage Sites: The Case of the Historic Centre of Rethymno in Greece (7 citations)
- A Conceptual Framework to Understand the Dynamics of Rural–Urban Linkages for Rural Flood Vulnerability (6 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Psychology
- Climate change
- Management
Joern Birkmann focuses on Context, Environmental planning, Empirical research, Scale and Rural area. You can notice a mix of various disciplines of study, such as Disaster risk reduction, Socioeconomics, Livelihood, Goods and services and Risk management, in his Context studies. His research on Socioeconomics often connects related areas such as Hazard.
His Livelihood study frequently links to other fields, such as Index. In his articles, Joern Birkmann combines various disciplines, including Goods and services and Conceptual framework. His Risk management research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Risk analysis and Climate change.
