Prof. Peter Crank: Microscale Urban Climate Modelling – pairing numerical modeling with the real world to promote healthy urban environments
Microscale numerical modelling provides researchers with unique tools to explore various urban design scenarios and their impact on the microclimate as well as on human health. Dr. Crank will explore how these models are used, evaluated, and validated through examples in hot climates like Phoenix and Singapore. He will also touch on how these models can be leveraged to support decision-making for healthy urban environments in hot climates but also in the Canadian context.
