URBANFLUXES
URBan ANthrpogenic heat FLUX from Earth observation Satellites
URBANFLUXES investigates the cities’ warming by breaking down the urban energy budget and targeting the anthropogenic heat flux.
For this research, we use imagery from Earth Observation satellites combined with conventional meteorological measurements at street level. The resulted satellite-based approach is expected to be easily transferable to any city. With this knowledge, measures to reduce urban heat can be monitored and tested.
GEO-K is the only SME partner of URBANFLUXES European project, together with Deutsches Zentrum für Luft – und Raumfahrt – DLR (Germany), the Centre d”Etude Spatiale de la Biosphère, Universite Paul Sabatier Toulouse 3 (France), University of Reading (United Kingdom).
URBANFLUXES is an H2020 project.
