Product Description
This is a slideset for city planners about Urban Heat Islands and the importance of their identification in a spatial planning context. The slideset introduces the EO surface temperature maps, with their potential and their limitations.
The lecture is accompained with the registration of a webinar held on February 3rd 2021 on the same topic organized by Epsilon Italia and Geografiska Informationsbyrån (GiB).
Learning outcomes
Understand the importance of identifying UHIs in a spatial planning context.
Understand how EO surface temperature time series can support identification of UHIs.
Understand how to interpret EO surface temperature time series to identify UHIs.
Understand how to derive maps from EO surface temperature data, to be integrated with other relevant information related to UHI identification in a spatial planning context.
Understand how to analyse information derived from EO surface temperature data integrated with other relevant information related to UHI identification in a spatial planning context.
Understand the limitations of the EO surface temperature data due to the spatial resolution.
