Project Overview
Urban expansion involves land conversions from vegetated moisture-rich to impervious moisture deficient land surfaces. With growing urbanization, the local weather and climatic conditions of the area are varying considerably. Thermal remote sensing is a powerful tool to study the causes of changing land use pattern and the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects. The thermal infrared data is useful for studying UHI over urban areas and plan the open spaces, accordingly.
