The research investigates the formation of urban heat islands in the municipality of Castanhal-PA, using remote sensing techniques to calculate land surface temperature and spectral indices of vegetation and urbanization. The aim is to understand how the reduction of green areas intensifies warming in urban zones, highlighting the importance of preserving and expanding these areas to ensure sustainable urban development.
This study shows how our laboratories contribute innovative solutions to urban challenges in the Amazon through research.
