The rapid pace of urbanization in many cities of the world has led to the transformation of natural landscapes into artificial surfaces with considerable effects on the environment. It has occasioned inadvertent alterations in surface thermal characteristics, local and regional climate and the geophysical conditions of the urban environment. Increasing rates of urbanization with continuous alterations on the natural surface features are expected to continue with its attendant problems in the near and far future. Thus, this study adopted geospatial techniques using Landsat observed TM, ETM+ and TIRS/OLI data for the years 1984, 2000 and 2018 to investigate the spatial and temporal variation in Land Surface Temperature (LST) associated with urbanization processes in the city of Ibadan, Nigeria. An attempt was made to project future surface the.. View More»
