GIS-based revision of a WUDAPT Local Climate Zones map of Bern, Switzerland [PDF]
, 2023 Urban areas are particularly affected by heatwaves through the intensification of heat stress by the urban heat island effect. For effective climate change adaptation, information about microscale surface cover, structures, and human activity in cities ...

Local Climate Zone mapping using GIS methods in Szeged
Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2014 Owing to anthropogenic activity, local climate develops in the area of built-up zones. The characteristics of built-up zones can be quantified by different methods. One of the methods is the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) classification system which describes

Global map of Local Climate Zones
, 2022 A global 100 m spatial resolution Local Climate Zone (LCZ) map, derived from multiple earth observation datasets and expert LCZ class labels. The LCZ map is based on the LCZ typology (Stewart and Oke, 2012) that distinguish urban surfaces accounting for ...
