Anticipating urbanization-led land cover change and its impact on local climate using time series model: a study on Dhaka city

Urbanization-led changes in natural landscape often result in environmental degradation and subsequently contribute to local climate variability. Therefore, apart from global climate change, Dhaka city’s ongoing rapid urban growth may result in altering future local climate patterns significantly....
