Currently trying to answer the question 'Self-sufficiency through urban agriculture: nice idea or plausible reality?' - my research is centred around urban vegetation, its service to people and the planet.

I take a quantitative approach, with data analysis and spatial modelling performed in Python and ArcMap - combining multispectral optical imagery; LiDAR; cadastral, climate, and biological data.
