Investigating the urban heat island effect with the use of spatially explicit models in tropical cities
Understanding urban heat islands has become vital for cities to adapt to a warming world. Much of the current urban heat studies are focused on temperate regions although there is a strong incentive for research in tropical cities, in particular in Southeast Asia, given the projections of high urban...
