Abstract:
With 1.76 million inhabitants, M?rida city has recently become the most populated city in southeast Mexico, being one of the most attractive cities for investment in real-estate projects. This has increased deforestation to the periphery, resulting in heat islands. We used time series of Landsat images and the BFAST algorithm to analyze annual deforestation around M?rida city over the 20XX–20XX period. Land surface temperature was also estimated using Landsat images to compare temperatures before and after deforestation and examine heat islands in the city.
