Remote sensing (RS) techniques offer advantages over other methods for measuring soil
properties, including large-scale coverage, a non-destructive nature, temporal monitoring …

The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon is a serious concern for urban planners and
policymakers, requiring effective and efficient mitigation policies. To develop such policies …

The increasing intensity, duration, and frequency of heat waves due to human-caused
climate change puts historically underserved populations in a heightened state of precarity …

Earth's warming climate is causing heat waves to become more frequent, longer lasting, and
hotter, while occurring in locations unaccustomed to such weather events. Extreme heat …

Urban land cover types influence the urban microclimates. However, recent work indicates
the magnitude of land cover's microclimate influence is affected by aridity. Moreover, this …

Artificial-intelligence tools are transforming data-driven science—better ethical standards
and more robust data curation are needed to fuel the boom and prevent a bust. Components …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect is caused by intensive development practices in cities and
the diminished presence of green space that results. The evolution of these phenomena has …

Abstract We introduce University of Texas-GLObal Building heights for Urban Studies (UT-
GLOBUS), a dataset providing building heights and urban canopy parameters (UCPs) for …

Urban areas are affected by the urban heat island effect, resulting in increased heat strain
compared to rural areas. In this article, we aimed to study how urban morphology (eg …

Tree cover is generally associated with cooler air temperatures in urban environments but
the roles of canopy configuration, spatial context, and time of day are not well understood …
