NASA Offers Training on Urban Heat Mapping Using Thermal Remote Sensing
US · Published Apr 1, 2026
NASA ARSET is providing online training on thermal remote sensing for mapping urban heat vulnerability.
The training utilizes ECOSTRESS mission data and tools like R and Google Earth Engine.
Participants will learn to analyze thermal data, create urban heat maps, and develop mitigation strategies.
Online training for mapping urban heat
NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) team is offering an online training session focused on thermal infrared remote sensing. The training aims to equip participants with the skills to map urban heat vulnerability and understand the urban heat island effect, where urban areas with concrete and asphalt absorb more sunlight and retain heat, leading to higher temperatures than rural areas.
