Abstract: Air Pollution in China has become of increasing public concern because of its importance and sensitivity related to health risks. Based on the daily data of air quality monitoring sites in Beijing and Shenzhen city, the optimal Spatio-temporal Kriging (STK) model is selected to reveal the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of the daily Air Pollution exposure in Beijing and Shenzhen. The Spatiotemporal analysis model applied to study the possible association between...
Research Objective Human tumors are complex ecosystems involving cancer and immune cells as well as supporting tissues and vasculature in a complex three-dimensional tissue. The objective of this project is to apply methods developed for the analysis of geographic and ecological features in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to the understanding of human cancers. This will involve applying geospatial analytics, spatial and spatiotemporal statistics, environmental image processing, and ecosystem modeling techniques to human tumor images collected using very recently...
The GIS&Coast Research Group has been working on a wide range of topics for more than 25 years. Research topics to be highlighted are natural processes and environmental impacts, such as natural hazards, climate change or land use characterization and change among other geographical issues at local, regional and global scales. The most common focus of this research has been the coastal zone,...
