Morphological and Environmental Drivers of Urban Heat Islands: A Geospatial Model of Nighttime Land Surface Temperature in Iberian Cities

Morphological and Environmental Drivers of Urban Heat Islands: A Geospatial Model of Nighttime Land Surface Temperature in Iberian Cities

This study explores how urban morphological and environmental factors influence Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) using a geospatial modeling approach. The aim of the research is to develop a methodology to assess UHI effects, emphasizing the role of urban morphology, land use, and vegetation in nighttime h...
