Více o knize

The study investigates the significant rise in urban temperatures in Peshawar and its surroundings over 33 years, highlighting the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon. It analyzes meteorological data, satellite imagery, and demographic information to assess the impact of urban expansion on climate and environment from 1931 to 2011. Utilizing thermal infrared remote sensing and GIS overlay analysis, the research reveals substantial land cover changes and their effects on micro-climatic variations, indicating a pronounced struggle in the urban landscape.
