Earth Observation for Urban Climate: Mapping the Local Climate Zones [PDF]

, 2015
collected by Earth Observation (EO) satellites provide a valuable source of information for understanding, monitoring, modelling and thus protecting the urban environment. The increasing availability of EO systems and the advances in remote sensing techniques increase the opportunities for monitoring the urban environment and its thermal behaviour ...

Contributing to WUDAPT: A Local Climate Zone Classification of Two Cities in Ukraine [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2016
Local climate zones (LCZs) divide the urban landscape into homogeneous types based on urban structure (i.e., morphology of streets and buildings), urban cover (i.e., permeability of surfaces), construction materials, and human activities (i.e., anthropogenic heat).

Soil Inorganic Electron Acceptors and Carbon Substrates Hierarchically Govern Wetland Methanogenesis Temperature Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wetlands constitute Earth's largest natural methane (CH4) source, yet projections of their climate feedback remain uncertain due to poorly constrained temperature sensitivity (Q10‐CH4) of microbial methanogenesis. While water table dynamics have been demonstrated to regulate wetland methanogenesis by altering key soil conditions such as ...

High‐Throughput Screening and Interpretable Machine Learning for Rational Design of Bimetallic Catalysts for Methane Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methane's efficient catalytic removal is vital for sustainable development. Bimetallic catalysts, though promising for methane activation, pose a design challenge due to their complex compositional space. This work introduces an integrated framework that combines high‐throughput density functional theory (DFT) and interpretable machine ...

Seasonal Climatic Comfort Variations in Mountain Cities: A Local Climate Zone Perspective

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Against the backdrop of global climate change, climate change has become a major factor affecting the suitability of living environments. Therefore, in this study, based on multisource remote sensing data and geospatial analysis methods, we selected the annual land surface temperature (LST) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in 2022 of ...

Advances in Uncertainty-Guided Local Climate Zone Classification [PDF]

, 2022
Like many other research fields, remote sensing has been greatly impacted by machine and deep learning and benefits from technological and computational advances. In recent years, considerable effort has been spent on deriving not just accurate, but also reliable models which yield a sense of predictive uncertainty. In the particular framework of image
