Exploring the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect in Port Louis, Mauritius

University of Mauritius Research Journal, 2016
Although many methods for heat island study have been developed, there is little attempt to link the findings to actual and hypothetical scenarios of urban developments which would help to mitigate the UHI in cities. The aim of this paper is to analyze the UHI at two sites with similar geometries within Mauritius, with emphasis on the difference in ...
