MissAshley Douglas

Ashley is an environmental scientist who investigates the use of vegetation and green technology to address the impacts of urbanisation. She possesses knowledge and expertise using GIS software for modelling air pollutant distribution, and the potential land use parameters that may influence air pollutant concentrations.

Ashley's recent work aims to determine the broad scale associations between air pollutants and urban forestry. This work will enable the ability to associate a given density of green space to its air pollutant amelioration potential. Thus, predictions on the air quality improvements that would occur for a given increase in urban green space density or extent, along with credentialing urban greening projects that have already occurred can be made.
