Urbanization and Urban environment

Using remote sensing from different earth observation data sources and spatial analysis to detect land use, land cover changes in cities, urban expansion dynamics. Exploring urban expansion driving forces and simulating future urban sprawl. This research theme also includes studies on thermal environment changes, urban heat island and thermal comfort.
