This thesis explores the intricate connections between the envir- onment and obesity. It develops and applies advanced geospatial methods to enhance the assessment of obesogenic environments and obesity risks. Its primary objective is to evaluate …
Air pollution has been standing as one of the most pressing global challenges. The changing patterns of air pollutants at different spatial and temporal scales have been substantially studied all over the world, which, however, were intricately …
Optimizing urban morphology can help city managers deploy internal carbon reduction strategies. However, due to the numerous factors that influence urban carbon emissions and the complex paths of their effects, existing research findings are diverse …
The influence of urban spatial form on the environment is complex and lengthy. The spatial analysis for the urban form and residential-related CO$_2$ emissions at the city scale is challenging due to the lack of extensive urban form data and …
Rapid urbanization generates substantial demand, use, and demolition waste of construction materials. However, the existing top-down or bottom-up frameworks combining material flow analysis (MFA) and geographic information system (GIS) tend to …
High-resolution mapping of steel resources accumulated above ground (referred to as steel stocks) is critical for exploring urban mining and circular economy opportunities. Prior studies have attempted to approximate steel stocks using nighttime …
