Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Agriculture
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of study are Urbanization, Climate change, Urban area, Meteorology and Urban heat island. His Urbanization research incorporates elements of Urban planning, Sustainable development, Impervious surface, Sustainability and Remote sensing. His Remote sensing research includes elements of Cartography, Earth observation and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program.

His Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Air pollution, Fossil fuel, Environmental economics and Environmental planning. His research integrates issues of Urban climate, Land cover and Environmental protection in his study of Urban area. His Urban heat island research incorporates themes from Climatology, Albedo, Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer, Thematic Mapper and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer.

His most cited work include:

  • High Resolution Fossil Fuel Combustion CO2 Emission Fluxes for the United States (320 citations)
  • A cluster-based method to map urban area from DMSP/OLS nightlights (206 citations)
  • Modeling energy consumption and CO2 emissions at the urban scale: Methodological challenges and insights from the United States (190 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Remote sensing, Urbanization, Climate change, Environmental resource management and Greenhouse gas. His Remote sensing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Land cover, Pixel, Cartography and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program. His Urbanization research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Urban area, Urban heat island, Urban planning, Physical geography and Vegetation.

His Urban area research incorporates elements of Urban climate, Sustainability and Environmental protection. His Climate change study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fossil fuel and Natural resource economics. Yuyu Zhou combines subjects such as Environmental economics and Land use with his study of Environmental resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (26.95%)
  • Urbanization (19.16%)
  • Climate change (17.96%)

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

  • Remote sensing (26.95%)
  • Urbanization (19.16%)
  • Climatology (8.98%)

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

Yuyu Zhou mostly deals with Remote sensing, Urbanization, Climatology, Urban heat island and Climate change. His work on Remote sensing is typically connected to Series as part of general Remote sensing study, connecting several disciplines of science. The concepts of his Urbanization study are interwoven with issues in Physical geography and Urban area.

His work investigates the relationship between Climatology and topics such as Urban planning that intersect with problems in Multispectral image. The subject of his Urban heat island research is within the realm of Meteorology. His study in Climate change is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Seasonality, Latitude and Water resource management.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Annual maps of global artificial impervious area (GAIA) between 1985 and 2018 (81 citations)
  • Urban heat island impacts on building energy consumption: A review of approaches and findings (74 citations)
  • Understanding an urbanizing planet: Strategic directions for remote sensing (69 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Agriculture
  • Artificial intelligence

Yuyu Zhou spends much of his time researching Urbanization, Remote sensing, Urban heat island, Meteorology and Phenology. His Urbanization research integrates issues from Cartography, Urban area, Land cover, Natural resource economics and Econometric model. His research integrates issues of Climate change and Latitude in his study of Cartography.

His Remote sensing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Earth observation, Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program. The various areas that Yuyu Zhou examines in his Urban heat island study include Plant phenology and Terrestrial ecosystem. His studies deal with areas such as Building energy and Cooling energy as well as Meteorology.
