We investigate the air we breathe and the environment we live in. How do our urban cities, towns and settlements affect our exposure to heat, air pollution, and heavy rain? What actions can be leveraged to mitigate this exposure individually and at city scale?
Our approach involves observing, understanding and modelling the environments we study, to then apply and transfer findings to the stakeholders we work with. We contribute to the development of each of the tools we use: Measurement methodology, data flows, conceptual understanding and numerical models. Observational data we obtained from our measurement campaigns and contributions to larger scale networks are openly available.
