The Thermal Geography of Cities: Using Remote Sensing to Analyze Urban Morphology and Heat Islands Ghent University
Increasing global urbanisation and anthropogenic warming contribute to the development of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). UHIs pose significant challenges to the well-being and health of city residents, amplifying heat stress and exacerbating energy demands.
This research aims to employ remote sensing data for multi-scale mapping of urban morphology and to investigate its interrelationship with UHI. By utilizing multi-source remote sensing ...
