Project Description and Objectives:
This project aims to explore the relationships between urban land surface temperature and urban green and blue infrastructure using remote sensing and GIS technologies, in combination with field investigations. The objectives of the project are making participants to gain knowledge about nature-based solutions, how to use nature-based solutions to solve problems, and to learn the skills to extract necessary information from remote sensing images and spatial analysis.
Eligibility Requirements:
The participant needs to have basic background of geography, ecology, and environmental science, and have basic skills to operate GIS, such as Arc Map, etc., and image process software, such as ENVI, etc.
Main Tasks:
The main tasks including extracting information of urban green and blue infrastructure (GI, BI), urban land surface temperature (LST), field investigation, GIS spatial analysis, and modeling of LST, GI and BI.
