Synergy of Urban Heat, Pollution, and Social 1 Vulnerability in One of America’s Most Rapidly 2 Growing Cities: Houston, We Have a Problem

During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, we analyze the expansion of 23urban land cover, urban heat island (UHI), and urban pollution island (UPI) in the Houston 24Metropolitan Area (HMA) using land cover classifications derived from Landsat and land/aerosol 25products from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. Our approach involves 26both direct utilization and fusion with in situobservations for a comprehensive characterization.27We also examined how social vulnerability within the HMA changed during the study period and 28whether the synergy of UHI, UPI,and social vulnerability enhances environmental inequalities.
