Decadal urban thermal dynamics in a hyper-arid Gulf city: district-scale evidence from Doha, Qatar (2014–2024)

Arid cities face high surface warming due to rapid urbanization and limited vegetation, yet their spatiotemporal variability remains underexplored. This study investigates summer (May–September) land surface temperature (LST) dynamics, thermal hotspots and spectral index–LST corr...
