I am interested in urban green-infrastructure planning, landscape ecology, and planning of climate-adaptive landscape. Big cities in China face serious environment problems such as urban heat island, air pollution and city-logging. Now my research focus on effects of green space to handling with environment issues in big cities through geographic information science and remote sensing. To improve urban ventilation and thermal environment through green space planning and design, the study will consider relationship between microclimate and green space, and then explore quantitative indicators. Lastly, establish principles and good practice for planning and design professionals in the application to the practical works of planning and design green space for comfort urban environment.
