Spatial mapping of heat vulnerability in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria

Urbanisation alters land surface features by replacing natural environments with artificial impervious surfaces (AIS). Such changes modify the thermal properties of cities, making cities more vulnerable to heat, with growing threats to human health. This study mapped the heat vulnerability for human...
