Despite research on urban heat island (UHI) effect has increased exponentially over the last
few decades, a systematic review of factors contributing to UHI effect has scarcely been …

This paper reviews how remotely sensed data have been used to understand the impact of
urbanization on global environmental change. We describe how these studies can support …

Exploring changes in land use land cover (LULC) to understand the urban heat island (UHI)
effect is valuable for both communities and local governments in cities in developing …

Present paper tends to capture the impact of land use land cover (LULC) on land surface
temperature (LST) in English Bazar Municipality of Malda District using multi spectral and …

Urbanization causes enormous land use and land cover (LULC) changes, which creates a
significant impacts on land surface temperature (LST) in rapidly growing mega-cities. The …

Arid and semi-arid regions have different spectral characteristics from other climatic regions.
Therefore, appropriate remotely sensed indicators of land use and land cover types need to …

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

Urban configuration can influence the local thermal environment by altering energy
balances. However, previous studies have found that either sprawling urban or compact …

This paper focuses on the relationship between remotely-sensed urban site characteristics
(USCs) and land surface temperature (LST). Particular emphasis is put on an extensive …

The normalized difference built-up index (NDBI) has been useful for mapping urban built-up
areas using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data. The applicability of this index to the newer …
