Tracking gain and loss of impervious surfaces by integrating continuous change detection and multitemporal classifications from 1985 to 2022 in Beijing

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Impervious surfaces are important indicators of human activity, and finding ways to quantify the gain and loss of impervious surfaces is important for sustainable urban development. However, most relevant studies assume that the transformation of natural

Variational Assimilation of the Impervious Surfaces Temperature [PDF]

Atmosphere, 2020
Impervious surface temperature is a key parameter in impervious surface energy balance. Urban canopy models are now widely used to simulate impervious surface temperatures, but the physical assimilation method for the urban canopy model is still under development and the use of high temporal resolution observation data are limited.

THE USAGE OF RUSBOOST BOOSTING METHOD FOR CLASSIFICATION OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACES [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Abstract. Impervious surface areas are artificial structures covered by materials such as asphalt, stone, brick, rooftops and concrete. Buildings, parking lots, roads, driveways and sidewalks are shown as impervious surfaces. They increase depending on the population growth.

Paving Paradise: The Peril of Impervious Surfaces

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2005
Paved surfaces are quite possibly the most ubiquitous structures created by humans. In the United States alone, pavements and other impervious surfaces cover more than 43,000 square miles—an area nearly the size of Ohio—according to research published in the 15 June 2004 issue of Eos, the newsletter of the American Geophysical Union.

MSTCA-Net: A Novel Impervious Surface Extraction Method Based on a Multistage Transformer

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
The area of impervious surfaces serves as a critical metric to gauge urbanization levels and evaluates ecological health in a given region. However, in some areas with low-density impervious surfaces, these impervious surfaces are often small in size and

Spatiotemporal Continuous Impervious Surface Mapping by Fusion of Landsat Time Series Data and Google Earth Imagery

Remote Sensing, 2021
The monitoring of impervious surfaces in urban areas using remote sensing with fine spatial and temporal resolutions is crucial for monitoring urban development and environmental changes in urban areas.

URBAN IMPERVIOUS SURFACE DETECTION WITH LANDSAT AND FULL POLARIMETRIC ALOS/PALSAR IMAGES [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019
Impervious surface detection in urban area is of great importance because impervious surfaces have been recognized as an urbanization index. In other words, an increase of impervious surface extent accounts for urban sprawl.

GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACES AND THEIR EFFECT ON LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN ABUJA, NIGERIA [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
The rapid urban expansion in Abuja, Nigeria, has resulted in the replacement of land surface previously occupied by natural vegetation with various impermeable materials.

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...
