URBAN HEAT ISLAND (UHI) ANALYSIS USING GEO-SPATIAL TECHNOLOGY IN PUNE CITY, MAHARASHTRA [PDF]

, 2018
<p>Urban Heat Island (UHI) refers to the phenomena of higher surface temperature occurring in urban areas as compared to the surrounding areas. Spatio-temporal changes in UHI can be quantified through Land Surface Temperature (LST) derived from ...

A Study on Urban Heat Island (UHI): Challenges and Opportunities for Mitigation

Current World Environment
Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a significant issue in metropolitan regions in India, where cities are experiencing increasing temperatures ranging from 1 to 5 °C. Although UHI is a global phenomenon, it particularly impacts major cities in India, and there is a need for more research in this field. This review compares the latest global developments in UHI

Evaluation of Sustainable Urban Design With a Focus on Spatial Organization and Climatic Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urban heat island (UHI) effect increases with the growth of cities and population. This situation triggers global climate change, and cities are negatively affected by this situation. In this study, five provinces (Antalya, Gaziantep, Bursa, Kayseri, and Erzurum) located in different climate zones in Turkey were selected as samples ...

Adapting to Urban Heights: Multidimensional Gradients Drive Nest‐Selection Plasticity and Trade‐Offs in a Human‐Commensal Sparrow

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.

The effect of unplanned growth of urban areas on heat island phenomena

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2018
With the advent of the housing problem in Egypt, many residents have resorted to set up informal housing scheme to achieve the need of housing. This has significant urban, environmental and social impact on those residents.This research focuses on the ...

ASSESSMENT OF SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF URBAN HEAT ISLANDS (UHI) IN SEMI-ARID CLIMATE

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2023
An urban heat island phenomenon has increased in the last decades due to rapid urbanization, resulting in a significant impact on local climate. In this study, remote sensing data was used to analyze Spatiotemporal patterns of Urban Heat Island Intensity (UHII) over a 20 years period in a semi-arid climate area.

Long‐Term Discharge Records from United States and European Karst Springs: Data Limitations in Trend Analysis

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Karst spring discharge trend (the change in discharge over a period greater than 30 years for each spring) does not depend on discharge variability. Insets show two springs with contrasting discharge variability (variable vs. extremely high variability) but similar discharge trends.

Assessing the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect Using Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Built-Up Index (NDBI): A Case Study on Paphos, Cyprus [PDF]

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is responsible for increased urban temperatures compared to rural areas due to heat-absorbing materials like concrete and asphalt, worsening climate change impacts and creating thermal discomfort for citizens.

Shifts in cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of bees and wasps primarily reflect temperature variations rather than the amount of sealed ground surfaces in an urban landscape

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI) can potentially subject insects to heat and desiccation stress and likely induce shifts in their cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile. We expected that warmer urbanized areas favour longer chain length of hydrocarbons as well as higher abundance of n‐alkanes in three Hymenoptera species. We found that temperature, more
