Urbanization affects the local wind and water cycle by changing the natural surface and atmospheric conditions, which further changes the local climate and climate system. Assessment of built-up-area changes in a rapidly growing urban area within a s...
This paper shows the efficacy of a novel urban categorization framework based on deep learning, and a novel categorization method customized for cities in the global south. The proposed categorization method assesses urban space broadly on two dimens...
Land use (LU) changes caused by urbanization, climate, and anthropogenic activities alter the supply of ecosystem services (ES), which affects the ecological service value (ESV) of a given region. Existing LU simulation models extract neighborhood ef...
