Ahmed, Bayes, Md. Kamruzzaman, Xuan Zhu, Md. Shahinoor Rahman, and Keechoo Choi. "Simulating Land Cover Changes and Their Impacts on Land Surface Temperature in Dhaka, Bangladesh". Remote Sensing. November 15, 2015. https://www.mdpi.com/... (Contributed by Gregory Autin).

Despite research that has been conducted elsewhere, little is known, to-date, about land cover dynamics and their impacts on land surface temperature (LST) in fast growing mega cities of developing countries. Landsat satellite images of 1989, 1999, and 2009 of Dhaka Metropolitan (DMP) area were used for analysis. The study first identified patterns of land cover changes between the periods and investigated their impacts on LST; second, applied artificial neural network to simulate land cover changes for 2019 and 2029; and finally, estimated their impacts on LST in respective periods. Simulation shows that if the current trend continues, 56% and 87% of the DMP area will likely to experience temperatures in the range of greater than or equal to 30 °C in 2019 and 2029, respectively.
