An article on “Prioritizing environmental determinants of urban heat islands: A machine learning study for major cities in China” was published on International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation on

Posted on July 6, 2023 by suh

Highlights of the article:

  • We quantify the attribution of surface heat island using random forest.

  • NDVI is the most prominent determinant for annual mean heat islands.

  • We recommend locality-based and coordinated heat mitigation strategies.

The study was a collaboration with

An article on “Spatiotemporal patterns of the impact of surface roughness and morphology on urban heat island” was published on “Sustainable Cities and Society”

Posted on April 11, 2023 by suh

Highlights of the article:

  • We quantify the correlation between urban morphology and heat island.
  • 1D surface roughness emerges as a good indicator of urban morphology.
  • Urban planning needs to consider potential nonlinearity in the correlation.

The study was a
