<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
<b>ABSTRACT:</b> Land Surface Temperature (LST) measurements are crucial, particularly in urban settings, due to the fact that over 80% of the U.S. population resides in cities, which occupy only 3% of the country's land area. In this seminar, the significance
of temperature monitoring within urban environments will be discussed, alongside an exploration of various methodologies currently employed. A particular focus will be placed on the use of satellite technology for urban temperature monitoring. Initially, the
seminar will showcase the application of GOES-R satellites in analyzing the diurnal characteristics of the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) effect across 120 major U.S. cities. A clustering method will be employed to categorize SUHI patterns and identify underlying
factors influencing these patterns. Subsequently, the seminar will show the integration of GOES-R and ECOSTRESS LST estimates, highlighting a novel approach that employs a machine-learning (specifically, XGBoost) based method for downscaling GOES-R data to
ECOSTRESS resolution. This technique's potential to mitigate socioeconomic disparities within the Chicago area will also be examined, showcasing the broader implications of advanced LST measurement technologies.</div>
