Global 1-km present and future hourly anthropogenic heat flux

Global 1-km present and future hourly anthropogenic heat flux Alvin C.G. Varquez, Shota Kiyomoto, Do Ngoc Khanh, and Manabu Kanda AH4GUC is an updated version of AHE dataset by Dong et al. An article of the dataset can be accessed here. In addition, a futuristic scenario based on SSP3-RCP8.5 is also constructed. Specifically, the highlights of […]

Updated March 17, 2023: Additional paper reference and manual In collaboration with the Hanaoka Research Group led by Prof. Shinya Hanaoka, an update of the SLEUTH model is proposed to consider railway-induced urban growth in a widely known cellular-automaton-based urban growing model called SLEUTH. The papers related to the work can be found below: Varquez, […]

GUGPS: Global Urban Sprawling Map

High-resolution Global Urban Sprawl Projection based on multiple applications of SLEUTH urban growth model (2019) Yuerong Zhou, Alvin C.G. Varquez, Manabu Kanda Full publication here. An annual dataset of global urban sprawl projection with 30 arc-seconds, around 1-km resolution, has been constructed.  Urban sprawling was projected using the SLEUTH urban growth model which utilizes historical […]
