Abstract

This study was based on two Landsat TM/ETM+ images acquired in 1996 and 2003 respectively and some necessary ground-based meteorological data. The surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL) has been used in this thesis to extract the information of evapotranspiration. The urban heat island and urban expansion of the area were also extracted and related to the information of evapotranspiration to see their interaction for the urban heat environmental changes during this period.
