Research interests
Processes influencing the local climate in urban areas. Connection between the urban climate and human health and well-being, focusing on vulnerable groups (e.g. old adults and children). The use of geographical information-system (GIS) within urban climatology and other (physical) geographical research.
Examples of research activities:
- Development of user-friendly tools for climate sensitive planning applications (UMEP)
- Spatial variations of potential solar energy production on roof structures in urban areas
- The use of LiDAR technology within urban climate research
- The influence of warm weather and outdoor - environment design on preschoolers physical activities and thermal comfort (link)
Leader of (in collaboration with Sofia Thorsson) the Göteborg Urban Climate Group at Gothenburg University.
