In the light of climate change and burgeoning urbanization, heat loads in urban areas have
emerged as serious issues, affecting the well-being of the population and the environment …

Constant urban population growth and intensive urbanization lead to increased pressure on
urban areas leading to uncomfortable living conditions. The quality of urban living conditions …

Built-up areas with non-natural surface covers generate the urban heat island (UHI) effect.
To investigate this in greater spatial extensions, satellite data provide sufficient spatial …

In the last two decades many climate change studies have focused on extreme temperatures
as they have a significant impact on environment and society. Among the weather events …

Sixty-four airport climate records were examined across Canada. Day-to-day (DTD)
temperature variability metrics were used to assess the nature of the local environment. In …

Global warming and rapid population growth are two of the most pressing issues in today's
world. There is growing evidence of rising temperatures. The urban heat island effect is a …

Abstract Analysis of urban green space (UGS) provision is becoming increasingly important
from an urban-planning perspective, as processes related to climate change tend to worsen …

The study underlines the characteristics of the urban heat island of Iași (Iași's UHI) on the
basis of 3 years of air temperature measurements obtained by fixed-point observations. We …

Air temperature in urban areas is strongly influenced by the properties of surface cover,
material and structure, and by human activity. Stewart & Oke (2012) quantified these …

External and internal microclimatic conditions, biodeterioration, anthropogenic factors, etc,
influence the natural stone support for artifacts and built heritage. Based on this fact, the …
