Bjarne Fog

Bjarne Fog is an Academic Researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, specializing in the Geography, People and Processes research group. His work focuses on applying advanced geospatial technologies to address critical environmental and urban challenges, particularly in developing regions.

His research interests span Geography, Remote Sensing, and Environmental Science, with particular expertise in using UAV (drone) technology and LiDAR for urban flood risk assessment. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration across multiple continents, with significant research conducted in Africa (particularly Ghana, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Tanzania) and the Pacific Islands.

The research articles reveal a clear progression toward increasingly sophisticated geospatial technologies, with recent work (2021-2022) focusing on UAV-LiDAR applications for urban flood modeling in Accra, Ghana. Earlier work examined broader environmental change in the Sahel region, land use trajectories in Niger, and shifting cultivation systems in the Pacific. His publications consistently bridge technical geospatial methods with practical applications for urban planning and climate adaptation.

Fog has produced substantial research output with 31 documented publications including 18 journal articles, 5 posters, 2 conference abstracts in proceedings, and various other research formats. His work has been cited extensively, with his 2022 paper on UAV-LiDAR flood modeling accumulating 58 Scopus citations and his 2016 Sahel environmental change paper receiving 37 citations.

His collaborative network is extensive, with research referenced in multiple policy sources and substantial academic engagement (125+ readers on Mendeley for recent work). While specific grant information isn't provided in the available text, his research demonstrates consistent funding support for international fieldwork and advanced technology applications.

Fog's work is characterized by its practical application to real-world environmental challenges, particularly in urban settings facing climate change impacts. His research group focuses on integrating cutting-edge geospatial technology with community engagement approaches to develop more resilient urban environments.
