A comparison between London and Baghdad surface urban heat islands and possible engineering mitigation solutions (2016)
Journal Article
Ali, J. M., Marsh, S., & Smith, M. J. (2017). A comparison between London and Baghdad surface urban heat islands and possible engineering mitigation solutions. Sustainable Cities and Society, 29, 159-168. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2016.12.010

This study adopts remote sensing techniques to compare the Surface urban Heat Island (SUHI) in Bagh-dad and London as they represent different climatic conditions, natural environments and levels of urbandevelopment. It tests the reported correlation... Read More about A comparison between London and Baghdad surface urban heat islands and possible engineering mitigation solutions.

Modelling the spatiotemporal change of canopy urban heat islands (2016)
Journal Article
Jasim M, A., Marsh, S., & Smith, M. J. (2016). Modelling the spatiotemporal change of canopy urban heat islands. Building and Environment, 107, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2016.07.010

This study models the spatiotemporal change of Birmingham’s urban heat island (UHI) using air temperature measurements made during the HiTemp project to study the atmospheric conditions over the city [1]. The study identifies the causative factors an... Read More about Modelling the spatiotemporal change of canopy urban heat islands.

Journal Article
Sowter, A., Amat, M. C., Cigna, F., Marsh, S., Athab, A., & Alshammari, L. (2016). Mexico City land subsidence in 2014-2015 with Sentinel-1 IW TOPS: results using the Intermittent SBAS (ISBAS) technique. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 52, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2016.06.015

Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) can be considered as an efficient and cost effective technique for monitoring land subsidence due to its large spatial coverage and high accuracy provided. The recent commissioning of the... Read More about Mexico City land subsidence in 2014-2015 with Sentinel-1 IW TOPS: results using the Intermittent SBAS (ISBAS) technique.
