I am an urban climatologist who specializes in the measurement and modelling of urban surface temperatures. I am particularly interested in the remote measurement of urban surface temperatures from ground, airborne and space-borne platforms for understanding the three dimensional surface temperature of cities, thermal anisotropy over urban areas, the use of remotely sensed surface temperatures in urban climate model evaluation, and spatial variations in the heat impacts on urban residents. I am an editorial board member for Remote Sensing of Environment.
