Temporal-Spatial Distribution of Surface Urban Heat Island and Urban Pollution Island in an Industrial City: Seasonal Analysis

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
This research investigates the complex interplay between urban heat island (UHI) and urban pollution island in the context of rapid urbanization. Using remote-sensed land surface temperature (LST), the UHI is categorized into five intensity levels. Air pollution monitoring in Arak city, including green spaces, roads, and industrial areas, combines in ...

Identification of Thermal Environment Networks in the Wanjiang Urban Agglomeration Based on MSPA and Circuit Theory

Land
With the acceleration of urbanization, the high density and intensity of urban construction and expansion have led to an exacerbation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which, in turn, contributes to global climate warming and severely impacts urban ...

Mitigation strategies for regional heat island effects: integrated network construction of cold and heat islands

Ecological Indicators
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a major environmental challenge in global urbanization. As urbanization progresses, the UHI effect in individual cities has expanded regionally, forming Regional Heat Islands (RHI). However, strategies for mitigating
