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

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”

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
