Xuhui Lee is Sara Shallenberger Brown Professor of Climate Science at Yale University. His teaching and research concern the interactions between the terrestrial biosphere, the atmosphere and anthropogenic drivers.

Cities generate their own microclimate via replacement of natural surfaces with buildings and other artificial structures. In this talk, Professor Xuhui Lee will discuss:
• Three urban microclimate phenomena (urban heat island, urban dry island and urban wet-bulb island) and their intra-city variations
• Experimental results on greenspace mitigation of humid heat
