The Impacts of the Expansion of Urban Impervious Surfaces on Urban Heat Islands in a Coastal City in China [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 The effect of the expansion of urban impervious surfaces on surface urban heat islands (UHIs) has attracted research attention due to its relevance for studies of local climatic change and habitat comfort. In this study, using five satellite images of Xiamen city, Southeast China (four images from the Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) and one from the ...

The Expansion Dynamics and Modes of Impervious Surfaces in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Bay Area, China [PDF]
Land, 2021 Different urban growth patterns have various impact degrees on the urban ecosystem and environment. Impervious surface, a typical artificial construction can be used to reflect urban development. Therefore, this study estimated the spatiotemporal dynamics and expansion patterns of impervious surface area (ISA) in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau (GHM) Bay

Land, 2023 Megacities serve as crucial catalysts for national economic and social development, and Shanghai, one of China’s most prominent metropolitan areas, exemplifies this transformative urbanization. To study Shanghai’s urban expansion, we extracted urban land cover data from 1985 to 2020 using impervious area products and simulated urban expansion dynamics ...

Arctic vegetation greening with impervious surface expansion from 1990 to 2018
Advances in Climate Change ResearchAmid rapid Arctic climate change, vegetation greenness serves as a traceable indicator of terrestrial ecosystem change. However, Arctic greening is still widely framed as climate-driven, and spatially explicit long-term evidence quantifying how human ...
