Land Cover Types and Their Effect on the Urban Heat Signature of University Campuses using Remote Sensing

The campus, as an educational area, has a variety of land cover with varying surface temperatures. Knowledge of land use in a localized urban environment and its effect on the Urban Heat Signature (UHS) of a university campus is insufficient, so it is essential to assess UHS-related localized urban...
