🏙️ In addition to providing guidance for city planning and landscape design, this method is simple, scalable, and accurate way for municipalities to evaluate urban heat. Cities can use it to map heat risk, guide tree planting, and protect vulnerable communities from extreme heat. 🔥🛠️

📊 Simple area-weighted surface temperature models closely matched pedestrian-level air temperatures—almost a perfect 1:1 correlation. Results show that streets with greater tree canopy were significantly cooler, both for shaded surfaces and for surfaces in sun during the time of analysis. 🌳🌡️

📡 We used aerial images, thermal imagery of surface temperatures, and air temperature data to evaluate the differences in urban heat characteristics associated with land cover and shading across Portland residential landscapes. 🌿🏘️

Hello, Bluesky! Excited that my first post gets to be a
🎉NEW PAPER ALERT🎉

🌆 New research shows we can predict street-level urban heat using simple tools—no complex models needed. Insights support climate resilience and urban planning. 🛰️🌳
