Heat island effects in urban life cycle assessment: Novel insights to include the effects of the urban heat island and UHI‐mitigation measures in LCA for effective policy making [PDF]
, 2020 Urbanization often entails a surge in urban temperature compared to the rural surroundings: the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. Such a temperature increase triggers the formation of pollutants worsening the urban air quality. Jointly, bad air quality and

Modelling the urban heat island intensities of alternative urban growth management policies in Brisbane [PDF]
, 2017 When urban areas experience higher temperature than their surrounding rural areas, this phenomenon is called the urban heat island (UHI) effect. UHI contributes to global warming.

Annual dynamics of the UHI phenomenon in a small urban system
Revija za Geografijo, 2020 The urban heat island phenomenon (UHI) is a consequence of anthropogenic activity and local climatic conditions. Most UHI studies address large metropolitan areas.

Features of the formation of urban heat islands effects in tropical climates and their impact on the ecology of the city [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 The cumulative heating in some urban areas due to the urban growth and its types of industry, energy and transport, is the effect of urban heat island (UHI). It is recognized as one of the characteristics of the urban climate.

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Spatio-Temporal Mapping of Urban Heat Island in Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos State
African Journal on Land Policy and Geospatial Sciences, 2023 Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a significant factor in human health problems, expected to increase with urban population growth. This study aimed to assess the spatial extent of UHI in Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos State from 1992 to 2022, assess the ...

Impact of fragmented urbanization on observed precipitation
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study investigates the impact of fragmented urban landscapes on downwind precipitation by applying an innovative observation‐centered approach to an extensive rain gauge network in Belgium. The approach classifies the observations based on the upwind urban land cover fraction, and compares precipitation indices between rural‐ and urban‐labeled ...
