Frances Leung

I am a data scientist, avid gardener and researcher in the Department of Geography, Geomatics, and Environment. My research focuses on understanding the roles that urban and suburban greenspaces play in promoting sustainability and biodiversity amid climate change.

Using remote sensing techniques, I investigate the spatial-temporal changes of vegetation and land use for greenspaces such as parks, gardens, and green roofs. Through this work, I aim to uncover insights that will guide the creation of more sustainable, adaptable, and resilient environments.

When I am away from my desk, I can often be found admiring a plant or with my fingers sunken in soil, nurturing a slice of nature in a garden.
