Welcome to the Urban Climate Research Group at
Arizona State University. Our rural history and modern urban lives in the
Sonoran Desert make Arizonans keenly aware of the tensions between the
natural and built environment. As a research group, we aim to solve the major
challenges that face us as we continue to seek prosperity in the desert. Our researches
focus on the urban environment under the changing climate, including
land-atmosphere interactions, turbulent transport, urban heat island and the
long-term sustainability of cities. We employ analytical techniques,
numerical modeling, as well as field measurements to investigate the effect
of anthropogenic stressors on the natural environment, physics of flow and
the hydrological cycle. Our primary objective is to advance the understanding
of urban climate in the scientific community, as well as to foster
sustainable urban development for future generations. News update: August 2019: former group member Dr. Jiyun
Song joined the faculty of the University of Hong Kong. Congratulations
to Jiyun! Summer 2019: the group welcomed visiting
professor Fang Zhang from Xinjiang University, and new Ph.D. student Xueli Yang.
