EFFECTS OF URBAN GREENERY ON HEALTH. A STUDY FROM REMOTE SENSING [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022
Global warming is causing increasing Heat Waves that affect human health. High temperatures markedly increase morbidity and mortality. Urban Heat Islands increase the effects of Heat Waves and are a serious inconvenience to human health and comfort ...

The impact of building operations on urban heat/cool islands under urban densification: a comparison between naturally-ventilated and air-conditioned buildings [PDF]

, 2019
Many cities are suffering the effects of urban heat islands (UHI) or urban cool islands (UCI) due to rapid urban expansion and numerous infrastructure developments.

Urban gardening for mitigating heat island effect

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2023
AbstractExcess anthropogenic CO2in the atmosphere above urban areas can create an isolated heat island closely related to dense cities. Adding more green spaces may be strenuous because of the lack of public spaces. The upgrowth of the human population, along with anthropogenic activities, is the critical factor that escalates the effect of the urban ...

Urban heat islands and their effects on thermal comfort in the US: New York and New Jersey

Ecological Indicators, 2023
In recent decades, urbanization and the dramatic increase in urban populations have exacerbated the urban heat island effect. At present, much attention has been paid to the causes and patterns of the urban heat island effect.

The urban cool island phenomenon in a high-rise high-density city and its mechanisms [PDF]

, 2016
The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon has been studied extensively, but there are relatively fewer reports on the so-called urban cool island (UCI) phenomenon.

Impact of Desert Urbanization on Urban Heat Islands Effect

Open Journal of Geology, 2020
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has undergone major urban transformation after the establishment of the country in 1971. One noticeable change is urban expansion in terms of massive infrastructure, including new residential areas, highways, airports, and sophisticated transportation systems.

Spatio-temporal pattern of heat island in Shenzhen and its influencing factors [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
In recent years, with the rapid expansion of global urbanization, large-scale human activities have changed the surface characteristics, which has significantly enhanced the urban heat island effect. Heat islands may lead to heatstroke, increasing health

Health disparities in chronic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

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 ...
