Analytical Study on The Intensity of Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) in Kaduna State

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development
Urbanization and climate change are significant drivers of rising Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the formation of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), which have emerged as pressing environmental challenges in recent decades. This study examines the relationship between Land Use/Cover (LU/C) indices and LST in Kaduna, Nigeria, using multi-temporal Landsat ...

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Unlocking Urban Climate Change Analysis in Global Kilometer‐Scale Climate Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Coupled multi‐decadal global km‐scale simulations completed in recent years open new perspectives in the investigation and understanding of urban climate change. This study introduces a generic method for extracting urban areas and their rural references worldwide and validates it on hourly timescales with remote‐sensing observations of land ...
