Geo-Intelligent Solutions for Urban Heat Island (UHI) Detection and Mitigation Framework
IEEE AccessUrban areas often experience elevated temperatures compared to their rural surroundings, leading to the phenomenon of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This is a growing environmental concern driven by rapid urbanisation, turning cities into heat traps.

An Investigation into Minimizing Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effects: A UK Perspective
Energy Procedia, 2014 AbstractCities are major sources of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and the effects of mass urbanization upon the environment have now become clear. Great opportunities exist within cities for tackling climate change. Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a phenomenon where significant temperature difference between inner micro-climates of a city and their
