Influences of Urban Expansion on Urban Heat Island in Beijing during 1989–2010
Advances in Meteorology, 2014 Beijing has experienced rapid urbanization and associated urban heat island (UHI) effects. This study aimed at analyzing the impact of urban form on UHI in Beijing using TM/ETM images between 1989 and 2010.

SURFACE URBAN HEAT ISLANDS AND RELATED HEALTH RISK IN THE PHILIPPINES: A GEOSPATIAL ASSESSMENT USING MODIS DATA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023 The study assessed the heat-health risk of the Philippines during 2020 using the MODIS derived Urban Heat Island (UHI) and gridded population data. The study found out that the urban areas experienced more intense heat than the rural areas.
