This book gives great insight on the concept of impervious surfaces induced by anthropogenic activities and the effects they have on the land Surface temperature in the city of Abuja, Nigeria. It utilizes the use of spatial images obtained from Landsat Satellite to execute spatial analysis, the use of indices such as NDISI, NDVI, LST for the estimation of impervious surface, vegetation intensity and calculation of the surface temperature over Abuja respectively. The study recommends the widespread use of highly reflective or natural surfaces for rooftops, pavements and roads and that afforestation should be encouraged to increase green areas since impervious surfaces have a warming effect on the land surface temperature.
