Past and future impacts of urbanisation on land surface temperature in Greater Cairo over a 45 year period

Past and future impacts of urbanisation on land surface temperature in Greater Cairo over a 45 year period

Rapid and unplanned urbanisation can lead to altered local climate by increasing land surface temperature (LST), particularly in summer months. This study investigates the Urban Heat Island (UHI) in Greater Cairo, Egypt, using remote sensing techniques to estimate LST of summer months over 45 years...
