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

A Decade of Vegetation and Urban Heat Island Patterns in Kubu Raya, Indonesia Using Google Earth Engine

Kubu Raya Regency, located in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, is characterized by extensive peatland ecosystems. Rapid urban development in the region has contributed to increasing land surface temperature (LST) and the emergence of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon. This process is associated with changes in vegetati...

A comparison of landforms, ecological aspects, and surface temperature composites for urban heat island analysis

Analysis of urban heat islands in the study of urban environmental problems based on remote sensing

As global urbanization accelerates cities increasingly face ecological challenges, most notably the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This study investigates the formation and spatial distribution of UHI’s in the cities of Mingachevir, Shirvan and Yevlakh, located in the central region of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Util...

Urban heat island dynamics and thermal resilience assessment using geospatial techniques and InVEST urban cooling model: a case study of Coimbatore City, Tamil Nadu, India

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...

Assessment of urban heat island intensity in Tashkent city using Landsat 8/9

The urban heat island (UHI) is a critical environmental issue associated with rapid urbanisation and land cover transformation in metropolitan areas. This study presents a spatiotemporal analysis of UHI intensity in Tashkent city, Uzbekistan, using satellite-derived land surface temperature (LST) data from Landsat 8/9...
