ZEPHYRUS project Work Highlighted by Copernicus

The article by Ana Oliveira (Colab +Atlantic), António Lopes (CEG/IGOT-ULisboa), Samuel Nisa (IST), and Amílcar Soares (IST), titled “Local climate zones in five southern European cities: An improved GIS-based classification method based on Copernicus data”, has been highlighted in a news piece on the Copernicus programme website, titled "A method to combat the Urban Heat Island effect".

This research stands out for significantly improving the ability to monitor and mitigate the impacts of urban warming, contributing to the development of more resilient cities. As noted in the article, "Inspired by the work of Ana Oliveira and colleagues, the European Environment Agency (EEA) has decided to apply this method to all cities covered by the Urban Atlas portfolio, Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS)."
