A study focused on the influence of air pollution and drought on growth and ecosystem services of urban trees and forests.
A study that aims to further develop the PALM-4U, an urban climate model of unprecedented spatial resolution and computational performance and which allows simulations of large cities of a size of up to 2.000 km² with grid-resolved buildings.
This study focuses on respiratory diseases and possible effects of daily weather, climate and climate change. Respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are globally immense health factors.
