Richard Yves

Richard Yves is a Professor at the University of Burgundy, affiliated with the CRC team. His research focuses on urban climate dynamics, climate change impacts on agriculture (particularly viticulture), and environmental monitoring. Key interests include urban heat islands, air quality, and regional climate modeling. He leads studies on Local Climate Zones (LCZ) and participatory data collection methods, such as using car-mounted thermometers to map urban heat patterns. His work addresses challenges like frost risks in vineyards and socioecological conflicts arising from climate adaptation measures in Burgundy.

Research emphases include:

• Urban microclimate modeling and mitigation strategies
• Climatic projections for French wine regions
• Agroclimatic vulnerability and adaptation in temperate agriculture
• High-resolution climate simulations for extreme weather events

Articles highlight advancements in:

• Co-designing geoprospective scenarios for urban greening
• Quantifying heat island intensity during heatwaves
• Evaluating hail suppression systems' socioecological impacts

He collaborates with interdisciplinary teams on projects like HYCCARE, integrating hydrology and climatology to assess regional water resources under climate change. His contributions advance both theoretical climate science and practical applications for sustainable urban and agricultural systems.
