Assessing the impact of industrial areas on land surface temperature: A comparison with urban and green spaces in the context of global warming

Key Points

• Industrial areas exhibit higher land surface temperature compared to green spaces, and this difference is significant in the context of global warming.
• In the study, temperature readings were considerably elevated in industrial regions, reaching an average of 5°C above surrounding green spaces.
• Analysis of land surface temperature used satellite imagery and climate data, revealing clear patterns related to industrial and urban development.
• This indicates that industrialization may further exacerbate global warming effects; ongoing monitoring is necessary.
