A study utilizing remote sensing and geographic information system techniques examined changes in land surface temperature (LST), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and carbon sequestration in Mysuru City from 1992 to 2022. The results of this study offer valuable insights for city planners and policymakers, aiding in the identification of areas experiencing increased LST and diminishing natural landscapes. Furthermore, the study can serve as a foundation for identifying urban hotspots, cold spots and areas conducive to urban thermal comfort.
