In search of missing links: urbanisation and climate change in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria

The current study examines gaps between climate change and rapid urbanisation sub-Saharan Africa. Through a combined analysis of remotely sensed and meteorological data, the study revealed the extent of urban microclimate change trends within a few decades. Thus, upward changes in microclimate – tem...
