Cities face the consequences of climate change, specifically the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which detrimentally affects human health. In this regard, deploying PV modules in urban locales prompts inquiry into the impact of energy-active building com...

The urban heat island (UHI) effect is a serious health risk for people living in cities and thus calls for effective mitigation strategies in urban areas. Satellite data enable monitoring of the surface urban heat island (SUHI) over large areas at high s...

Urbanization is closely associated with land use land cover (LULC) changes that correspond to land surface temperature (LST) variation and urban heat island (UHI) intensity. Major districts of Bangladesh have a large population base and commonly lack the...

Land surface temperature (LST) is one of the crucial factors that is important in various fields, including the study of climate change and the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. The existing LST was acquired using satellite imagery, but with the develo...

Due to the combination of climate change and the rapid growth in urban populations in Africa, many urban areas are encountering exacerbated urban heat island (UHI) effects. It is important to understand UHI effects in order to develop suitable adaptation...

Climate change has severe consequences on ecosystem processes, as well as on people?s quality of life. It has been suggested that the loss of vegetation cover increases the land surface temperature (LST) due to modifications in biogeochemical patterns, g...

Changes in the urban landscape resulting from rapid urbanisation and climate change have the potential to increase land surface temperature (LST) and the incidence of the urban heat island (UHI). An increase in urban heat directly affects urban livelihoo...

Urban climate results from the modifications caused by the characteristics of cities, which modifies the regional climatic conditions of a city. When urban areas are warmer than the surrounding areas, the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon occurs. Being ...

Monitoring the relationship between the urban heat island (UHI) effect and land use/land cover (LULC) is of great significance in land use planning to adapt to climate change. However, the dynamic response of the UHI effect to LULC change over space and ...

Currently, global climate change (GCC) and the urban heat island (UHI) phenomena are becoming serious problems, partly due to the artificial construction of the land surface. When sunlight reaches the land surface, some of it is absorbed and some is refl...
