  • Disproportionate exposure to surface-urban heat islands across vulnerable populations in Lima city, Peru

    Open AccessEdson J Ascencio, Antony Barja et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Climate change constitutes an unprecedented challenge for public health and one of its main direct effects are extreme temperatures. It varies between intra-urban areas and this difference is called surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect. We aimed to assess SUHI distribution among socioeconomic levels in Lima, Peru by conducting a cross-sectional study at the block-level. The mean land surface temperature (LST) from 2017 to 2021 were estimated u…
