All Urban Carbon Cycle Air Pollution Map Virtual Geographical Environment Spatial-Temporal GIS Theory Urban Blue and Green Space Spatial Lifecourse Epidemiology

Spatial Lifecourse Health

Spatial Lifecourse Health was proposed by my supervisor, Prof.Peng Jia. This is the basic theory of My PhD project.

Air Pollution Map

We used multi-sources data, machine learning and spatial statistics to devlop the accurate air pollution map.

Urban Carbon Cycle

We used machine learning, spatial statistics, ecological process model and remote sensing to construct map of urban carbon cycle.

Spatial-Temporal GIS Theory

We explored the spatial-temporal GIS theory and its applications.

Urban Blue and Green Space

We want to know how the pattern of blue space and green space in urban influence the urban environment.

Virtual Geographical Environment

I’m interested in virtual geographical environments(VGEs).
