Spatio-temporal analysis of LST, NDVI and SUHI in a coastal temperate city using local climate zone

Energy and Built Environment
Extreme heat due to changing climate poses a new challenge for temperate climates. The challenge is further aggravated by inadequate research, policy, or preparedness to effectively respond and recover from its impacts.

GIS-based delineation of local climate zones: The case of medium-sized Central European cities

, 2016
Stewart and Oke (2012) recently proposed the concept of Local Climate Zones (LCZ) to describe the siting of urban meteorological stations and to improve the presentation of results amongst researchers. There is now a concerted effort, however, within the

The impact of hazard indicator selection on urban heat risk assessment: evidence from two Sub-Saharan African cities

City and Environment Interactions
Urban heat exposure poses significant health and socio-economic risks in rapidly growing Sub-Saharan African cities. Accurate mapping of heat risk is critical for targeted adaptation, yet the choice of hazard indicator can influence risk assessment ...
