Climate Change, Global Warming And The Consequences Of Land-use Abuse In Abuja, Nigeria
This study evaluates the spatio-temporal dynamics of Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in Abuja, Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for 2014, 2019, and 2024. Results show a consistent intensification of urbanization and thermal stress over the decade. Mean LST increased from 33.2C in 2014 to 35.8C in 2019 and 38.6C in 2024, with peak dry-season values exceeding 41C in densely built districts. NDBI values rose from 0.18 (2014) to 0.29 (2019) and 0.41 (2024), reflecting accelerated expansion of impervious surfaces.
