DOI: 10.1016/j.uclim.2019.100503
Abstract: Abstract The positive trend of global urbanization goes along with the conversion of non-urbanized, e.g. natural or agricultural land surfaces, into urbanized surface types, e.g. impervious surfaces. This generally leads to an increased intensity of… read more here.
