Our model provides valuable information on where human settlements will be located in the future and can be applied also under changing climatic conditions.

To model urban expansion dynamics, we explored the roled played by geomorphic and hydroclimatic drivers, together with the proximity to existing urban areas. Elevation, sole and proximity to surface water are key factors in the study area

📢PAPER ALERT - How do cities expand in time? Together with @enricobertuzzo.bsky.social and @giuliagrandi.bsky.social we developed a spatially explicit model, describing observed urban expansion dynamics in NE China (gif by @giuliagrandi.bsky.social)
