Urban heat island (UHI) could have significant impacts on building energy consumption by
increasing space cooling demand and decreasing space heating demand. However, the …

Human society and ecosystems are impacted by climate extremes more than by climate
averages. In contrast with climate extremes that are driven by individual climatic variables …

Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of global urbanization over a long time series is
increasingly important for sustainable development goals. The harmonized time-series …

Increasing urbanization causes an urban heat island (UHI) effect and exacerbates health
risks of heat waves due to global warming. The surface UHI (SUHI) in large cities has been …

The cooling effects of green spaces and water bodies are essential in subtropical cities with
high temperatures combined with increasing urban heat island effect, while there is …

Rapid urbanization has highlighted ecological problems in the metropolitan area, with
increasing landscape fragmentation and severe threats to ecosystem health (EH). Studying …

Building morphology has critical impacts on urban environments. However, the association
between building morphology and urban environments across different scales and seasons …

The rapid development of productivity and economy has led to a substantial change in
global land use/land cover (LULC), which has caused a series of environmental problems …

Abstract Changes in land-use management and natural climate variability has led to
significant vegetation greening in China over the past decades, as evidenced by satellite …

Abstract In this study, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer land cover, land
surface temperature (LST), and enhanced vegetation index (EVI) data were used to …
