Research Brief: Climate Change Mitigation Potential of Pavement Albedo
Albedo is the measure of how much solar energy is reflected by the Earth’s surface. Lighter color, or high-albedo, surfaces absorb less sunlight energy and reflect more shortwave radiation. Increasing pavement albedo has been considered as a technological strategy to mitigate impacts of climate chan...
