Impacts of Landscape Composition on Land Surface Temperature in Expanding Desert Cities: A Case Study in Arizona, USA

Surface urban heat island (SUHI) effects are intensifying in arid desert cities due to rapid urban expansion, limited vegetation, and increasing impervious and barren land surfaces. This leads to serious ecological and socio-environmental challenges in cities. This study investigates the relationshi...
