Assessment of land use and land cover changes and their impact on land surface temperature in Greater Accra, Ghana
Urban sprawl within the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area has led to an increase in land-surface temperature (LST) by 4.07 °C since 1991, exacerbating the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon and heightening health and energy challenges associated with heat. Our study evaluated the influence of land use...
