معرفی
Dr. Denise Hertwig is a Senior Research Fellow in Urban Weather and Climate at the Department of Meteorology, University of Reading. She is actively involved in cutting-edge research on urban atmospheric processes and climate modeling with a focus on the complex interactions between urban environments and meteorological phenomena.
Dr. Hertwig's primary research interests include boundary-layer meteorology, micrometeorology, urban climate, urban flow and pollutant dispersion, urban air quality, emergency-response dispersion modeling, and urban land-surface modeling. Her work bridges the gap between theoretical atmospheric science and practical urban planning applications, with particular emphasis on how urban structures influence local climate and air quality.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on multi-scale urban modeling approaches, with increasing integration of socio-economic factors alongside physical urban characteristics. Her research demonstrates growing sophistication in modeling techniques, particularly in Large-Eddy Simulation applications for urban environments, and shows a clear progression toward more comprehensive urban climate models that incorporate anthropogenic heat emissions, building energy use patterns, and their interactions with atmospheric processes.
Dr. Hertwig is actively involved in several major research projects including APEx (NERC), Urbisphere (ERC), and Next Generation Cities (CSSP China; Met Office/Newton Fund), with previous work on DIPLOS (EPSRC), Airpro (NERC), and High Resolution City (CSSP China; Met Office/Newton Fund). She is a member of the Urban Micromet Group at the University of Reading, collaborating with researchers across multiple institutions globally.
