Overview

Dynamic analysis identifies annual urban heat island patterns, suggesting important tools for climate adaptation.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a framework for monitoring urban heat islands using Landsat imagery over a decade.
  • Utilized Landsat 8 and 9 imagery from 2015 to 2025
  • Estimated land surface temperature with a single-channel algorithm
  • Defined UHI zones using a dynamic threshold based on mean LST and standard deviation
  • Tracked annual UHI patterns effectively in Leverkusen, Germany
  • Provided a practical tool for monitoring urban heat trends
  • Supported strategies for climate adaptation and sustainable urban planning
