Bjoern Hagen is an Assistant Teaching Professor at the School of Sustainability, Arizona State University. His research focuses on urban sustainability, climate change adaptation, and environmental policy, with particular emphasis on heat mitigation strategies in desert cities, green infrastructure impacts, and public perception of environmental risks. He has conducted studies on constructed wetlands, urban shade design, and longitudinal analyses of ecosystem services in arid regions.
Key research themes include urban resilience, transboundary urban quality of life indicators (e.g., US-Mexico border cities), and socio-economic benefits of sustainable infrastructure. His work integrates interdisciplinary approaches combining environmental science, urban planning, and policy analysis.
