What we study

Recent student projects in this lab have studied urban heat, using Landsat satellite images in Google Earth Engine to calculate land-surface temperature in Jacksonville and relate it to vegetation cover.

Assessing the Urban Heat Island Effect and Vegetation Correlation in Jacksonville, Florida Using Landsat Data

The lab examines how vegetation affects city temperatures in Jacksonville using Landsat 8 images processed in Google Earth Engine. The student calculated land‑surface temperature and vegetation index, finding a strong inverse link—greener areas are cooler—highlighting where urban greening could reduce heat stress.
