Land Surface Temperature and Urban Heat Island Dynamics from 2010 to 2018 Using Landsat Imagery in an Arid Environment: A Case Study in Sunland Park, New Mexico, USA
Urbanization significantly impacts land surface temperature (LST) and the characteristics of urban heat islands (UHI). However, the relationship between these factors can be complex, particularly in arid regions where exposed soils and sparse vegetation can lead to exceptionally high daytime temperatures. This study ex...
