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 ... -
Identifying urban sprawl by night lights: a pending issue
(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 ... -
Testing a combind multispectral-multitemporal approach for getting cloudless imaginery for Sentinel-2
(International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessEarth observation and land cover monitoring are among major applications for satellite data. However, the use of primary satellite information is often limited by clouds, cloud shadows, and haze, which generally contaminate ... -
Cooling Effect of Urban Parks in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona: The sample of Viladecans, Gavà and Castelldefels urban continuous
(Universidade da Coruña, 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessThis study presents a multi-stage approach to quantify the cooling effect of urban parks in the metropolitan region of Barcelona from the Land Surface Temperature (LST) of Landsat-8 of a summer day. We quantified the cooling ... -
Can Planning Mitigate UHI? A “Remote Sensing” and “Local Climate Zones” Analysis for Barcelona
(Universidade da Coruña, 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessWarming of the climate system is unequivocal [1]. There is a consensus on the fact that cities have a special role in Climate Change (CC). In this context, maybe one of the most relevant climatic factors is the Urban Heat ... -
¿Es suficiente la simetría informativa en la promoción de viviendas energéticamente eficientes? principales resultados del proyecto Enervalor
(Universidad de Granada, 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyLos requerimientos normativos relacionados con la eficiencia energética en la vivienda en Europa datan de finales de la década de 1970, siendo posteriores a la reconstrucción residencial de la Postguerra y a las etapas de ... -
El conocimiento de los certificados energéticos por parte de los profesionales inmobiliarios: el papel de las Administraciones Públicas
(Universidad del País Vasco / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea, 2018)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyA pesar de haber transcurrido 25 años desde la aparición de las primeras etiquetas verdes, el avance en la renovación energética de las edificaciones y en la promoción de viviendas energéticamente eficientes es preocupantemente ...
