Sharing information is the foundation of all communication between people, from individual interactions to the relationships between whole societies, countries, and cultures. Whether through language, mathematics, music, visual arts, or–more recently–code, the effect is the same: the shaping of our individual and collective understanding of the world through the exchange of knowledge and experience. The sharing of information and knowledge is becoming ever more critical to the shaping of human experience.
In this study, we investigate the spatial distribution of Chinese settlements in terms of their built-up land, cluster density and cluster size, as well as their changes between 1990 and 2010.
This paper is published in Habitat International, entitled "Mapping settlement systems in China and their change trajectories between 1990 and 2010".
In this study, we aim to map urban 3D building structure, i.e. building footprint, height, and volume, for Europe, the US, and China using random forest models.
This paper is published in Remote Sensing of Environment, entitled "Continental-scale mapping and analysis of 3D building structure".
we present global maps of 3D building structure at a 1-km2 resolution for the nominal year 2015.
This paper is currently under review, entitled "Global maps of 3D building structure for urban morphological analysis".
In this study, we mapped global built-up land change trajectries, and analysed to what extent built-up land change is related to population change and to what extent it is related to changes in land use intensity.
This paper is published in Landscape and Urban Planning, entitled "Global trends and local variations in land take per person".
