Impact of spatiotemporal land-use and land-cover changes on surface urban heat islands in a semiarid region using Landsat data

Many factors are involved in urban heat island development, such as lack of green spaces, improper choice of building materials, densification, and other human activities. The aim of this research was to quantify the effects of land-use/land-cover (LU/LC) changes on urban land surface temperature (L...
