Tibetan Plateau (TP) lakes are crucial water resources for many countries, and the region is sensitive to climate change, so the TP lakes' dynamics have always been the focus of TP research. Given the vastness of the TP, the diversity of topography, geomorphology, and meteorological features, and the significant disparities in precipitation between river basins, it is vital to examine lake dynamics and influencing variables from the basin's perspective. Based on Landsat imageries and supported by Google Earth Engine, lakes were mapped from 1990 to 2020.

The urban heat island (UHI) effect caused by urbanization negatively impacts the ecological environment and human health. It is crucial for urban planning and social development to monitor the urban heat island effect and study its mechanism. Due to spatial and temporal resolution limitations, existing land surface temperature (LST) data obtained from remote sensing data is challenging to meet the long-term fine-scale surface temperature mapping requirement.
