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.

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.

Green Roof Technology- Mitigate Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
Las alteraciones en las superficies terrestres, que son atribuidas por las actividades humanas, especialmente en las ciudades, causan muchas implicaciones para el ecosistema. El aumento de los edificios en las ciudades refleja que el crecimiento de las actividades humanas dio como resultado un aumento significativo de la temperatura y un patrón más ...

Assessing the Spatial Mapping of Heat Vulnerability under Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect in the Dhaka Metropolitan Area [PDF]

, 2022
The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon gets intensified in the process of urbanization, which increases the vulnerability of urban dwellers to heatwaves. The UHI-induced vulnerability to heatwaves has increased in Bangladesh during past decades.

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.

A new method to identify and explain sources of precipitation modification, illustrated for the western Netherlands

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study develops a method to identify the source areas of precipitation events, as illustrated for the western part of the Netherlands. Radar‐based precipitation data are traced back to their source areas and machine‐learning techniques are used to identify hypothesized causes: urban heat, surface roughness, and air pollution. We find that urban and

The hot zones are cities: Methodological outcomes and synthesis of surface urban heat island effect in Africa

Cogent Social Sciences, 2023
Global warming and rapid population growth are two of the most pressing issues in today’s world. There is growing evidence of rising temperatures. The urban heat island effect is a significant environmental issue facing cities today.

Urban Heat and Spatial Statistics, Toward Sustainable Cities and Society: A PRISMA‐Based Systematic Review and Empirical Assessment (2020–2025)

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past few decades, the intensification of global warming has brought increased attention to urban thermal dynamics, particularly regarding Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Urban Surface Heat Island (SUHI) effect. This study conducts a systematic literature review alongside a bibliometric analysis of 123 peer‐reviewed articles ...

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and
