Title
Urban heat island dynamics in Lijiang City and glacier retreatment of Yulong Snow Mountain
Abstract
Public debates recently arise about the urban heat island (UHI) effect in Lijiang City on the glacier retreatment in Yulong Snow Mountain. To provide some scientific supports, this study used thermal remote sensing to analyze the effects of both UHI and thermal pattern of the whole basin area to the glacier. The final conclusion is that urban heat island would not promote the glacier retreatment of Yulong Snow Mountain, although they still should be mitigated to improve the quality of urban ecosystem.
