I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Weitzman School of Design at Penn PennMUSA at the University of Pennsylvania Penn as an assistant professor of urban spatial analytics in July.

Can't wait!

Let’s go Husky!

Super excited to join Penn Weitzman School of Design at Penn PennMUSA community.

Just launched my U.S. National Science Foundation funded project website, pedestrian level heat exposure. Please check the mean radiant temperature maps at multiple scales in Philadelphia. xiaojianggis.github.io/pedheat/

Paper alert! Our paper on sensitivity and vulnerability to summer heat in US cities. We generated 1m resolution #UTCI in current weather and 1 degree higher scenarios. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… For visualization, check our project of HeatExpo, xiaojianggis.github.io/heatexpo/ Biometeors

A new U.S. National Science Foundation funded project publication on E&P B: Urban Analytics and City Science. I modeled and mapped the pedestrian-level heat exposure in Philadelphia. Heat exposure was analyzed at the sidewalk level, and 400m walkshed of each building along the sidewalk, journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Thank for featuring my NSF project of pedestrian level heat modeling and mapping, xiaojianggis.github.io/pedheat/

Using meter-resolution urban 3D model from Microsoft Planetary Computer, I don't need to spend a huge amount of time on downloading and processing LiDAR data from USGS locally using tools like PDAL PDAL

I the last 10 years, I have collected several cards from several great universities.

Anything wrong?

Heat map is available on Neighborhood Facts mobile app now. I will try to add hyperlocal level heat info there, also more climate hazards information.

Please consider applying for our Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Human-Environment Interactions <jobs.aag.org/jobs/view/tenu…> Applications due January 6th, 2025

Thanks for the invitation from Department of Geography at Florida State U. I will give a talk about my recent research in Dec 6th. This is actually my first invitation from geography department to give a talk.

ChatGPT is down, try #Grok the first time. Looks pretty good.

Our recently published paper uses #GeoAI to generate the highest resolution #albedo map ever in major US cities. This will help us to better understand the urban thermal environment and provide a reference for urban heat management. nature.com/articles/s4159…

When you are blocked by falling trees, you tried to use chainsaw to cut through. Then found still several more fallen trees ahead.
