Thermal and Optical Remote Sensing : Evaluating Urban Green Spaces and Urban Heat Islands in a Changing Climate

Thermal and Optical Remote Sensing Evaluating Urban Green Spaces and Urban Heat Islands in a Changing Climate

This reprint focuses on the theoretical principles and practical adoption of remote sensing approaches and datasets in understanding the nexus between urbanization, natural landscapes, urban micro-climate, climate change and Urban Heat Islands. Urbanization, characterized by natural landscape transf...
