About the project
Urban heat mapping
The project, AI-driven Urban Heat and Health Analysis using Satellite Data for Climate-Resilient Planning, explores how satellite observations, artificial intelligence (AI), and municipal data can support urban heat analysis and climate-resilient planning.
Satellite data for urban environment analysis
Using Malmö as the main study area, the project combines Sentinel-2 and Landsat satellite data to estimate land surface temperature on a 10-metre spatial grid. It also investigates how satellite data can be used to monitor urban greenery, built environments, and changes in urban landscapes.
From analysis to decision support
The project delivers an AI-based temperature mapping framework, analyses of urban green spaces, and an interactive mapping demonstration. Together, these outputs provide a foundation for more informed urban planning and the evaluation of climate adaptation measures.
