Research at ORBIDENSE
The research direction of ORBIDENSE is moving from environmental data retrieval toward empirical, reproducible and decision-relevant climate-risk analysis.
Urban climate and extreme heat
A principal research direction is neighbourhood-scale urban heat exposure and vulnerability, including differences between surface temperature, near-surface atmospheric temperature, thermal stress and night-time heat.
Uncertainty
Future research will explicitly examine measurement uncertainty, spatial heterogeneity and the sensitivity of risk classifications to different environmental datasets and modelling assumptions.
Adaptation
Longer-term work will investigate the accessibility, equity and effectiveness of urban climate-adaptation measures rather than assuming that the presence of an intervention automatically implies a quantified benefit.
