Scientific contributions from remote sensing over the last fifty years have significantly
advanced our understanding of urban areas. Key contributions of urban remote sensing …

Globally, urbanization-driven changes in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) jeopardize
Land Surface Temperatures (LSTs) and the outdoor thermal comfort of urban residents …

The relationship between land use and land cover (LULC) patterns and thermal
characteristic has long been studied for examining the impact of urbanization on urban …

Land surface temperature (LST) predictors, such as impervious and vegetated surfaces,
strongly influence the urban landscape mosaic, also changing microclimate conditions and …

Accurately characterizing spatiotemporal changes in surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) is a
prerequisite for sustainable urban development. Although urban administrative boundaries …

The spatio-temporal pattern of biophysical composition significantly affects land surface
temperature (LST). Previous studies, however, mostly characterized urban heat island (UHI) …

Land surface temperature (LST) is a key parameter for surface energy balance and urban
climatology studies. LST is affected by the characteristics of the land surface such as …

Rapid urbanization across many regions in the world is altering the existing land use/land
cover (LULC), which is significantly raising the land surface temperature (LST). The present …

To improve land use efficiency, urban renewal must also consider urban microclimates and
heat islands. Existing research has depended on manual interpretation of high-resolution …

Rapid urbanization has significantly contributed to the development of urban heat island
(UHI). Regulating landscape composition and configuration would help mitigate the UHI in …
