As the medical practitioner assessing a patient's vitals checks temperature, landscape architects, planners, and urban design professionals can now check any site's temperature applying hi-res UAV (drone) thermal imaging in order to identify appropriate treatment options. The resulting performance benchmarks can direct land cover decision-making and policy based on heat island effect reduction. Together we will move the climate change discussion from the qualitative to the quantitative.
