We are a group of three scientists measuring the surface temperatures of different types of land and analyzing the reflected heat. our aim of the research is to make an impact to our community to make changes to help better our lives and bring attention to the problem of urban heat.
Research questions:
What is the relation between the type of surface and the temperature reflected from it.
Objectives set:
The importance of the research we are conducting is to check and find out the best surface to have on ground in our community to reduce the effect of urban heat, and reducing the temperature and heat in school and also trying to solve the problem of global warming.
Brief methods description:
First of all, fixed locations were assigned for each surface, then their temperatures were measured by an IRT-2 Infrared at a fixed time daily for a month, and all data was then collected.
