Research Interests

• Vertical exchange of pollutants between the urban boundary layer and urban canopy layer
• Escape of pollutants and heat from street canyons
• Measurement and analysis of turbulent fluxes including heat, water vapour, particulates and carbon dioxide
• Microscale variation in pollutant concentrations in 3-D within an urban area
• Use and application of wavelet analysis
• Development of urban boundary layer parameterisations
• Quantifying personal exposure to air pollutants in urban areas
• Indoor – outdoor pollutant concentrations

Examples of current research projects:

• Vertical exchange of heat, particulate matter and carbon dioxide in Toulouse France. This is part of the CAPITOUL project and was funded by the UK National Environmental Research Council and Meteo France. 
• Analysis of Auckland’s smog events: duration, frequency and underlying causes. Funded by ARC & SGGES.
• A detailed investigation of the temporal and 3-dimensional spatial trends of ozone and nitrogen dioxide concentration in Auckland, New Zealand. Funded by Auckland University FRDF and Aeroqual Ltd.

Examples of recent research projects:

• BUBBLE – a Major Effort in Urban Boundary Layer Meteorology, Basel, Switzerland
• The Urban Boundary Layer Field experiment over Marseille (ESCOPMTE), France.
