Amidst mounting concerns regarding health risks associated with excessive carbon
emissions, attention has turned to the heat mitigation ability of blue-green infrastructure …

The land surface temperature (LST) of urban streets is significantly influenced by the
surrounding urban environment. In the cold areas of northern China, this influence exhibits a …

Rapid urbanization replaces vegetation with build-up land, which threatens green spaces
and the well-being of residents. In this study, the urban expansion patterns (UEPs) of build …

Abstract Urban Land Surface Temperature (LST) is crucial in surface urban heat island
(SUHI) and microclimate studies. Currently, research has focused on seasonal LST …

Comparative studies across national boundaries on urban heat islands (UHI) are lacking,
especially comparative analyses among globally important bay area urban agglomerations …

Farmland landscape pattern (FLP) is critical in ensuring sustainable agricultural production.
Amidst the challenge of increasingly fragmented FLP, accurate assessment and optimization …

Context Landscape metrics can effectively quantify urban landscape dynamics and their
ecological stress, but incorrect metric, scale and zoning choices may lead to inaccurate …

Informal settlements are a growing phenomenon, particularly in the Global South, where
disaster risk is also high. This research investigates how disasters can disrupt the growth …

Urban Heat Islands are a major environmental and public health concern, causing
temperature increase in urban areas. This study used satellite imagery and machine …

As global warming intensifies, urban heat islands (UHIs) threaten human health. Green
spaces are crucial for mitigating UHIs, yet their expansion is limited. Consequently …
