What can be done to limit the effect?
How do aspects of the Built Environment Impact the urban heat Island?
1.Which urban structures/ zones contribute
highest to the heat island?
Why?
2. Which structures/zones contribute the
least to the heat island?
Why?
3. How do climate scientists and geographers collect their temperature data when studying the urban heat island? What technology is employed?
Connection back to unit 1:
Is this continuous or non-continuous data? When mapped is it best represented by vector or raster data?
What factors/ conditions/ errors complicate a researcher’s ability to collect accurate heat island data?
Does urban heat island play a significant role in local, regional or global climate change? Where if so.
