Assessing Urban Greenery using Remote Sensing
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe special significance of green spaces in cities has been fully demonstrated. Green spaces are key elements to improve the quality of urban life. They contribute to human well-being by providing ecosystem services such ... -
Effects of Urban Greenery on Health: a Study from Remote Sensing
(2022)
Conference report
Open AccessGlobal warming is causing increasing Heat Waves that affect human health. High temperatures markedly increase morbidity and mortality. Urban Heat Islands increase the effects of Heat Waves and are a serious inconvenience ... -

(2005)
Conference report
Open AccessEl uso de sistemas láser escáner terrestres para la realización de levantamientos cartográficos y no cartográficos, desde laderas o minas a cielo abierto a levantamientos arquitectónicos es cada vez más usual en el ámbito ... -
Using remote sensing imagery to study urban heat island and heat waves
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policylobal Warming is causing increasing Heat Waves (HW) that affect human health. In this context, urban heat islands (UHI) increase the effects of heatwaves, representing a serious inconvenience to human health and comfort. ... -
Modelling nighttime air temperature from remote sensing imagery and GIS data
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe estimation of the Earth's surface temperature (LST) from the infrared thermal radiation (TIR) emitted by the Earth detected by means of remote sensing has allowed a giant leap in climate analysis. The specialized ... -
A new approach to the estimation of the nighttime land surface temperature
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn the context of global warming, the urban heat island (UHI) has become more and more serious, aggravating the severity of heat waves impacts, which not only cause pollution and increase energy consumption, but also pose ... -
New ways of life: is polycentrism tackling dispersal in Mediterranean metropolises?: a first approach
(2011)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyMetropolization has become the prevailing way of life in a world where 53% of its population lives in cities. Nevertheless, urban expansion has followed different models beyond suburbs and sprawl, in metropolises where ... -
Can nighttime imagery identify urban sprawl?
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyNighttime light imagery of the earth are a useful way to study the urbanization process. Satellite nocturnal images have been used to identify metropolitan areas as well as urban growth. However, the study of the extent ... -
Urban landscapes and night time urban heat island
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe study of urban heat islands (UHI) is of great importance in the context of climate change (CC) and global warming. Cities accumulate heat in urban land covers as well as in built infrastructures, representing true ... -
