Bird-assisted sampling of air temperature reveals three-dimensional cooling effects of urban vegetation

This study uses homing pigeons with temperature sensors to map 3D air temperature patterns in Rome, showing vegetation reduces heat and stabilizes temperatures near green areas.

Beyond the urban surface: bird-borne sensing reveals the atmospheric structure of urban heat

This study uses bird-borne sensors to map the three-dimensional temperature structure of Rome's urban atmosphere, revealing vertical and horizontal heat patterns not captured by traditional methods.
