Remote Sensing Assessment Of Land Cover/Land Use Changes And Its Relationship On Land Surface Temperature In Penang Island

Land surface temperature (LST) plays an important role in local, regional and global climate studies. LST controls the distribution of the budget for radiation heat between the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface. Therefore, it is important to evaluate abrupt changes in land use/land cover (LULC). Pe...
