Research Activities
The foundation of all our research interests lies in geographical information sciences. Our more specific interests are: (1) spatial data analysis; and (2) mitigation and adaptation to climate change in urban areas. (1) The former research aims to establish analysis techniques and frameworks applicable to various geospatial phenomena. We are investigating to incorporate ideas from compositional data analysis, which is developed in geology and statistics. (2) The latter aims to contribute mitigation and adaptation to climate change in urban area by integrating various spatial data of urban planning, built environment engineering, traffic engineering, remote sensing, and other urban-related fields. We are dealing with spatially and temporally high-resolution data enough to investigate the relationship urban morphological indicator and environmental conditions at the individual buildings and roads scale.
