Journal Article Environmental Science and Technology Letters · August 13, 2024 Studies of urban heat are often limited by their ability to measure air temperature; data are collected either at a few locations over time or at many locations at one point in time. Citizen science approaches to observing temperature provide a way to over ... Full text Cite

Estimating the effects of vegetation and increased albedo on the urban heat island effect with spatial causal inference.

Journal Article Scientific reports · January 2024 The urban heat island effect causes increased heat stress in urban areas. Cool roofs and urban greening have been promoted as mitigation strategies to reduce this effect. However, evaluating their efficacy remains a challenge, as potential temperature redu ...
