Spatial configuration and its influence on land surface temperature across urban zones in Kolkata, India

Assessing the land surface temperature dynamics and urban heat island effect in Varanasi, India

Thermal Regulation of Urban Waterfront Spaces Across Functional Districts: A Multi-Scale Analysis of Morphological Influences in Chengdu, China Effect

Urban waterfront spaces play an increasingly important role in mitigating urban heat and supporting climate-resilient urban development. However, previous studies have primarily focused on individual waterfront sites or local microclimatic simulations, with comparatively limited understanding of how waterfront morpholo...

URBAN EXPANSION, VEGETATION COVER, AND LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN A MEDIUM-SIZED BRAZILIAN CITY: AN INTRA-URBAN ANALYSIS OF VITÓRIA

Evolution of Urban Spatial Structure and Its Impact on the Thermal Environment Based on Local Climate Zones (LCZ): A Case Study of Qingdao

Urban spatial structure represents a fundamental determinant of urban thermal dynamics; however, the nonlinear responses of different Local Climate Zones (LCZs) and their spatial extents to thermal environments remain insufficiently understood. This study focuses on the central urban area of Qingdao, China, and establi...

Spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers of surface urban heat island intensity in Dhaka, Bangladesh using geospatial remote sensing

Rapid urbanization has a profound impact on urban thermal environments, particularly in densely populated megacities. This study aims to assess the spatiotemporal dynamics of land surface temperature (LST), surface urban heat island (SUHI) intensity, land use/land cover (LULC) changes, and their primary driving factors...

A decadal analysis of land surface temperature dynamics in response to urban expansion and vegetation loss in Faridpur

Land-atmosphere interactions, urban thermal environments, and the impacts of land-use and land-cover (LULC) alterations are effectively grasped through the precise measurement of land surface temperature (LST). In this work, Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS imagery from 2014 and 2024 was utilized to track ten-year variations in LST...
