Abstract

This comprehensive report presents a meticulous geospatial analysis of land surface temperature (LST) changes in Chikmagalur Taluk, Karnataka, India, leveraging Landsat 8 Level 1 satellite imagery. The study aims to understand the temporal dynamics of LST and its environmental implications. We detail a comprehensive methodology encompassing radiometric calibration, spectral indices, and advanced spatial modeling. Notably, the results reveal a diverse pattern of LST changes, with the eastern part of the Taluk showing localized decreases, while the hill regions in the west and central areas exhibit notable temperature increases. These findings suggest a potential link between recent environmental incidents and LST fluctuations in the region.

Keywords: LST, Landsat 8, Level 1, Band 10, band 4, band 5
