Dr Silvia Tavares Dr Silvia Tavares Adjunct Senior Lecturer Earth & Environmental Science James Cook University Web

I am a lecturer in Urban Design and Town Planning at the University of the Sunshine Coast and an Adjunct Lecturer at JCU. I have a background in architecture, urbanism, and building and city science (affiliate member of PIA and registered architect and urbanist in Brazil). I am interested in the production of high-quality well-designed public spaces which enhance the quality of life of the people using them. My research focuses on providing evidence to produce public open spaces that are thermally comfortable, while promoting the good health of users and the natural environments that surround them. My main focus is, therefore, urban thermal comfort, urban microclimates, the relationship between urban microclimates and people’s health, and the impacts of climate change on them all. Whenever possible, I work with industry, stakeholders and citizens to understand where my research can provide useful evidence for contemporary pressing issues.
