Investigating the synergies between the Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Heatwaves (HWs)

, 2022
Abstract South Asian cities are now experiencing high-intensity of heatwaves. Heatwaves (HWs) severely threaten human health, particularly in urbanized areas more susceptible to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Due to climate change, heatwaves are becoming stronger, coupled with the intensity of urbanization, exacerbating the thermal risk ...

Statistically Validated Urban Heat Island Risk Indicators for UHI Susceptibility Assessment

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023
This research proposes a collection of urban heat island (UHI) risk indicators under four UHI risk components: hazard, exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. There are 46 UHI risk indicators linked to three pillars of sustainability: social equity, economic viability, and environmental protection.

The relationship between built-up areas and the spatial development of the mean maximum urban heat island in Debrecen, Hungary [PDF]

, 2005
The climate of built-up regions differs significantly from rural regions and the most important modifying effect of urbanization on local climate is the urban temperature excess, otherwise called the urban heat island (UHI).

The Impact of Road Pavement on Urban Heat Island (UHI) Phenomenon

International Journal of Technology, 2018
An urban heat island (UHI) is a climatic phenomenon caused by modifications to the climate due to changes in the form and composition of the land surface and atmosphere. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of road pavement types for mitigating or intensifying UHI. This study was conducted in the Kota Samarahan area.
