Evaluating the roles of green and built-up areas in reducing a surface urban heat island using remote sensing data
Rapid urbanization has several negative effects on both the environment and human health. Urbanization has also become an important contributor to global warming. One of these effects is the urban heat island (UHI), which is caused by human activities and defined as the temperature difference betwee...
