This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid urban expansion and associated land cover conversions in the last two decades call for an urgent need for developing advanced analytical and quantitative methods to manage the adverse impacts on urban ecology and climate. The lower landscape connectivity, higher land cover fragmentation and increase in higher surface temperatures in urban areas are largely a consequence of surface energy balance alteration triggered by the replacement of natural land covers like green spaces, wetlands with built areas, and impervious surfaces. These spatial-temporal variability changes have detrimental and significant impacts on the local and regional urban climate challenges that require both new Geospatial Analytic approaches and new sources of data and information. Emerging Geospatial technologies (Big Data, Cloud Computing, Google Earth Engines, Advanced Machine Learning Algorithms and Deep learning) offer great opportunities to acquire ubiquitous spatial data, continuous observations, and monitoring of the earth’s surface, detect the spatiotemporal patterns of changes in the landscape and urban climate and make predictions and scenarios for future urban ecology and surface temperature trends.
