I had a fantastic time in a semester-long environmental planning studio, working together with Tree Utah and South Salt Lake City, we delved into the intricacies of determining the best spots for planting trees in South Salt Lake City. We examined various factors such as climate change, heat patterns, hydrology, human health considerations, social dynamics, and biodiversity. The culmination of our efforts resulted in the creation of a comprehensive website showcasing our discoveries. What's more, we had the opportunity to physically plant trees in South Salt Lake City based on our research—a truly rewarding experience that fostered meaningful community engagement. My gratitude goes out to our dedicated students, as well as a special acknowledgment to our co-instructors Daniella Hirschfeld and Forest Cook.

Glad to have been involved with this proposal and now the project. I feel very grateful for the mentorship from senior faculty members. I would do my best to ensure the success of this project. Looking forward to get started.
Post from the Department: We are pleased to announce that Dr. Huaqing Wang, a valued faculty member, has secured an NIH grant as a Sub-Award Principal Investigator, directing $249K towards our LAEP department. This grant is dedicated to investigating the critical relationship between climate change and human health, addressing a pressing concern in today's world. Excited to share my recently published book chapter: "Demographic Data in the Built Environment and Human Health Studies." In this scoping review, we dive deep into the realm of social demographic data in built environment and human health studies.
Curious about which social demographic variables to consider when conducting your built environment and health study? Wondering where and how to access this critical data? Our research has uncovered some fascinating insights. We've summarized a frequency figure highlighting the most commonly utilized variables, including age, gender, education, income, race/ethnicity, marital status, and employment, among others. Full text available here. Excited that my seed grant application to the Utah Agricultural Experimental Station has been approved! It is a thrilling achievement, and I cannot wait to start my new project this summer. This grant will allow me to pursue my research and make a meaningful impact on the agricultural community in Utah. I am grateful for this opportunity and eager to get started on this exciting new venture.
It is an absolute honor to receive this recognition from such a prestigious organization in the field of landscape architecture. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication put in by both Simin and myself, and I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together. Winning this award is a major milestone in our academic careers, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to the field of landscape architecture through our research and scholarship. Thank you to CELA for this incredible honor!
