             abstract = "The urban heat island (UHI), a phenomenon where urban areas are 
                         warmer than surrounding rural areas, is an urban problem which has 
                         been enhanced by the climate variability. This temperature 
                         difference between urban and rural areas occurs due to different 
                         land uses / land covers (LULC), which have distinct thermal 
                         characteristics among them. Vegetation areas increase 
                         evapotranspiration to reduce thermal loading, while urban 
                         constructed materials store and reemit incident energy into the 
                         environment. Other factors such as the urban geometry (i.e., size, 
                         shape, height, and arrangement of buildings) and the presence of 
                         anthropogenic thermal emission sources (i.e., automobile and 
                         industrial process) can affect the UHI phenomenon. Multiple 
                         environmental implications as well as changes in the biological 
                         environment can be related to UHI. In aquatic ecosystems, for 
                         example, UHI affect not only the water temperature, but also the 
                         stability of water column, biogeochemical cycles and biological 
                         activity. Thus, urban aquatic systems, usually used as a source of 
                         water for the population, are affected by the UHI phenomenon. This 
                         chapter is reviewing few concepts about the impacts of air 
                         temperature variations on urban aquatic systems: a physical and 
                         ecological overview. Therefore, concepts of physical impacts of 
                         air temperature variation on the water column stability as well as 
                         its impacts on the biological activity are described in this 
                         chapter. It also presents a summary of the theoretical background 
                         of physical processes of one important tool for the studies on 
                         UHI: the thermal remote sensing. Directions for future research to 
                         improve the monitoring of UHI impacts in urban aquatic systems 
                         such as the synergy between numerical modeling and microbiological 
                         studies are suggested.",
