The urban heat island of Basel – seen from different perspectives
DIE ERDE: Journal of the Geographical Society of Berlin, 2014 For decades thermal infrared satellite imagery has been used for climate studies of a variety of geosystems, including urban areas. Additionally, airborne thermal remotely sensed data can provide high resolution information about urban land surface ...

Study on Riparian Shading Envelope for Wetlands to Create Desirable Urban Bioclimates
Atmosphere, 2020 Climate change and rapid urbanization are adversely affecting the urban environment by exacerbating the widely reported urban heat island effect in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Two wetland areas with variable riparian shadings in the warm-humid conditions of urban

Urban Heat Island Analysis Using the Landsat TM Data and ASTER Data: A Case Study in Hong Kong
Remote Sensing, 2011 In this paper, the effect of urban heat island is analyzed using the Landsat TM data and ASTER data in 2005 as a case study in Hong Kong. Two algorithms were applied to retrieve the land surface temperature (LST) distribution from the Landsat TM and ...

On the assessment of surface urban heat island [PDF]
, 2017 To what extent cities can be made sustainable under the mega-trends of urbanization and climate change remains a matter of unresolved scientific debate. Our inability in answering this question lies partly in the deficient knowledge regarding pivotal humanenvironment interactions. Regarded as the most well documented anthropogenic climate modification,

Comparative Analysis of Surface Urban Heat Island Effect in Central Sydney
Journal of Sustainable Development, 2014 The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect can result in higher urban densities being significantly hotter (frequently more than 4 °C, even up to 10 °C) compared to their peri-urban surroundings. Such artificial heat stress increases the health risk of spending time outdoors and boosts the need for energy consumption, particularly for cooling during summer ...
