UrbanEARS (Urban Ecosystem Analysis supported by Remote Sensing) is a four year research project initiated in 2015 and funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office (Belspo). Our main objective was to investigate how detailed, spatially-explicit data on urban land cover and urban green derived from remote sensing technologies can be integrated in urban biophysical models to better model and understand urban heat and water fluxes. The acquired insights and modelling results are then used to formulate guidelines for more sustainable urban planning.
Having reached the end of our project, we are organizing an interactive workshop to show how our research outcomes can be used in practice. During this workshop we are focusing on relevant end products and methodologies generated within the project, rather than scientific details.
