Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Land Surface Temperature Across the Indus Plain, Pakistan: A Satellite Remote Sensing Approach

Spatial, Temporal and Comparative Analysis of Land Surface Temperature in the Southern and Central Zones of Plateau State, Nigeria (1995–2025)

Land Surface Temperature (LST) is a critical indicator for assessing environmental change, climate variability, urbanization, and ecosystem health. This study presents a comparative spatio-temporal analysis of LST dynamics between the Central and Southern zones of Plateau State, Nigeria, over a 30-year period (1995–202...

Simulating the impact of land use and land cover change on surface air temperature trends in South-Central Vietnam

Vegetation degradation, particularly due to deforestation and urbanization, has substantially increased local surface air temperatures in many regions. This study aims to quantify the impact of land use and land cover change (LUCC) on surface air temperature trends in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. Monthly...

Geospatial Assessment of Urban Heat Island and Climate Dynamics in Ile Ife, Southwest Nigeria

Rapid urban growth can alter surface energy balance and intensify surface urban heat islands (SUHIs), yet secondary cities in sub-Saharan Africa remain comparatively understudied. This study assessed spatiotemporal surface thermal dynamics and local climate variability in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, using Landsat scenes acquired...

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...

Assessing the Temporal Consistency of Intra-Urban Surface Thermal Patterns in Satellite LST Time Series: A Case Study of Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract. Urban surface warming is often investigated using satellite-derived land surface temperature (LST), but short multi-year time series are difficult to interpret because of interannual variability, limited cloud-free observations, and heterogeneous surface characteristics. This study proposes a practical framew...
