Overview

Analysis reveals increasing land surface temperatures in Vietnam and Cambodia due to urbanization, highlighting urban heat islands.

Key Points

  • Land surface temperature has consistently increased in both Battambang and Binh Duong over the study period.
  • The urban heat island effect is becoming pronounced, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas since 2017.
  • Normalized difference vegetation index data indicate significant vegetation loss linked to urban expansion.
  • The study underscores the critical impact of urbanization on microclimates in Southeast Asia's cities.
