Evaluating urban heat island mitigation strategies through coupled UHI and building energy modeling
Building and EnvironmentThe Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, exacerbated by urban expansion and climate change, poses significant challenges for sustainable urban development, public health, and environmental resilience. Despite growing research, there is a lack of consensus on the most effective strategies and modeling approaches to accurately assess and mitigate UHI effects,

Unravelling the relative contributions of climate change and ground disturbance to subsurface temperature perturbations: Case studies from Tyneside, UK [PDF]
, 2016 When assessing subsurface urban heat islands (UHIs) it is important to distinguish between localized effects of land-use change and the impacts of global climate change. However, few investigations have successfully unraveled the two influences.

Spatial Hotspot Analysis of Bucharest’s Urban Heat Island (UHI) Using Modis Data
Annals of Valahia University of Targoviste, Geographical Series, 2018 Abstract The aim of the study is to find the relationship between the land surface temperature and air temperature and to determine the hot spots in the urban area of Bucharest, the capital of Romania. The analysis was based on images from both moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), located on both Terra and Aqua ...
