Abstract
Anthropogenic actions cause changes in the natural dynamics of the landscape, such as variations in climate and land use. Land Surface Temperature (LST) is one of the main physical parameters Recebido em: 27/08/2018Revisado em: 04/09/2018Aprovado em: 06/09/2018 67Colloquium Exactarum, v. 10, n.3,Jul-Set. 2018, p.66–77. DOI: 10.5747/ce.2018.v10.n3.e246of terrestrial surface processes. The importance of LST is increasingly recognized and there is a strong interest in developing methodologies for measuring LST using orbital platforms, such as the Landsat series. This work aims to verify if there was a change in the LST in the region of Pontal doParanapanema from the LST recorded by the Landsat series over the last 30 years. We adopted orbital images from Landsat5 TM and Landsat8 OLI satelliteto extract the LST value, and thenwe evaluated the LST variation at the studied area. A correlation was found between the LST variation and the type of land use and land cover. The urban areas, pasture, agriculture, vegetation and watercourses showed discrepancies in temperature when compared to each other. At Pontal, there were variations of 5 ° C of the average LST, between maximum and minimum temperatures. We concluded that temperature variations are associated with the dynamics of land use.
