Massaro, E., Schifanella, R., Piccardo, M. et al. Spatially-optimized urban greening for reduction of population exposure to land surface temperature extremes. Nat Commun
Objective:
- Set a spatial model to predict the absolute value of the exposure of the population to land surface temperature (LST) extremes
Case:
- Global 200 cities
Methodology:
- Spatial lag model
Data Source
- Green: NDVI
- LST: MOD11A1
- GHSL
Findings:
- Urban vegetation plays a considerable role in decreasing the exposure of the urban population to LST extremes
