The surface urban heat island (SUHI), which represents the difference of land surface
temperature (LST) in urban relativity to neighboring non-urban surfaces, is usually …

Greening is a useful mitigation strategy for planners mainly from a visual perspective. For
high-density urban living environment such as Hong Kong, urban greening helps cooling …

Warming associated with urban development will be exacerbated in future years by
temperature increases due to climate change. The strategic implementation of urban green …

Urban heat islands (UHIs) reflect the localized impact of human activities on thermal fields.
In this study, we assessed the surface UHI and its relationship with types of land …

Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) leads to increased energy consumption, aggravated
pollution and threatened health of citizens. Urban green spaces mitigate UHI effects …

Thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing techniques have been applied in urban climate and
environmental studies, mainly for analyzing land surface temperature (LST) patterns and its …

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important parameter highly responsive to surface
energy fluxes and has become valuable to many disciplines. Prior to the advent of satellites …

Urban microclimate analyses are being used more and more to address the planning
decision process to create livable and healthy public spaces. The study, conducted in …

Global urbanization drastically reshapes the land–atmosphere interactions, biogeochemical
cycles, and ecosystems in the integrated earth system. Urban trees are used extensively for …

The urban thermal environment varies not only from its rural surroundings but also within the
urban area due to intra-urban differences in land-use and surface characteristics …
