Journal Article
Ali, J. M., Marsh, S., & Smith, M. J. (2017). A comparison between London and Baghdad surface urban heat islands and possible engineering mitigation solutions. Sustainable Cities and Society, 29, 159-168. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2016.12.010

This study adopts remote sensing techniques to compare the Surface urban Heat Island (SUHI) in Bagh-dad and London as they represent different climatic conditions, natural environments and levels of urbandevelopment. It tests the reported correlation... Read More about A comparison between London and Baghdad surface urban heat islands and possible engineering mitigation solutions.

Modelling the spatiotemporal change of canopy urban heat islands (2016)
Journal Article
Jasim M, A., Marsh, S., & Smith, M. J. (2016). Modelling the spatiotemporal change of canopy urban heat islands. Building and Environment, 107, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2016.07.010

This study models the spatiotemporal change of Birmingham’s urban heat island (UHI) using air temperature measurements made during the HiTemp project to study the atmospheric conditions over the city [1]. The study identifies the causative factors an... Read More about Modelling the spatiotemporal change of canopy urban heat islands.

Physical model tests and numerical simulation for assessing the stability of brick-lined tunnels (2016)
Journal Article
Chen, H., Yu, H., & Smith, M. J. (2016). Physical model tests and numerical simulation for assessing the stability of brick-lined tunnels. Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 53, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tust.2016.01.016

Nowadays, numerical modelling is increasingly used to assess the stability of tunnels and underground caverns. However, an analysis of the mechanical behaviour of existing brick-lined tunnels remains challenging due to the complex material component...
