About
Ryan Turner is a PhD student in Geospatial Science at RMIT University, and a Research Assistant at RMIT University’s Centre for Urban Research. Ryan makes use of remote sensing, geospatial technologies, and spatial analysis techniques to develop spatial indexes, indicators, and online interactive tools for climate resilient, healthy and sustainable cities. Ryan’s particular research interests are in spatial assessment frameworks of urban heat vulnerability, and his research outputs align with the open science movement to deliver accessible outcomes at both the local and global scale.
Ryan holds a Master of Geospatial Science with Distinction (2023) from RMIT University and a Bachelor of Architectural Design (2020) from The University of Queensland.
