Research Areas
The main focus is on urban ecological research using earth observation big data and the social-economic data. His current research interests are exploring urban grey-green facility changes, drivers and their impact on urban ecosystems and urban microclimates. Specifically, these include the following:
- Refined 3D urban grey-green facility mapping
- Monitoring and simulation of global urbanization and afforestation
- Ecosystem services modeling and mapping
- Impact of urbanization on urban microclimate
