Changes in urbanization and urban heat island effect in Dhaka city
The study aimed to assess the changes in urban areas and UHI effects in Dhaka city, Bangladesh, from 2001 to 2017, using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) daily day- and nighttime land surface temperature (LST) data from 2001 to 2017. The expansion of the city was calculated usin...
