Cool Solutions for Hot Cities: Darwin Living Lab’s App for Urban Heat Mitigation

A tool for helping mitigate urban heat in the city of Darwin by visualizing heat distribution, tree canopy cover, and population vulnerability. The app integrates satellite data and socio-economic metrics to guide targeted cooling interventions, such as urban greening.

Tree canopy cover change from 2011, 2016, and 2021

The Lab has worked with Urban Monitor  and partners to generate high-resolution (20 cm) maps of Darwin's tree canopy cover for […]

Using a 3D laser scanner from a rooftop in Darwin

This video shows a fly-through of data captured by a long range 3D laser scanner. It was taken from a […]

Where are the hot and cool spots in Darwin?

In Darwin’s dry season, surface temperature ‘hot spots’ are found where there is lots of paving, roofs, bare ground and […]
