Environmental monitoring of solid waste disposal sites is essential for assessing the environmental conditions associated with these areas, and remote sensing has emerged as a valuable tool for providing spatial and temporal information at different scales. In this context, this study evaluated the thermal behavior of 17 solid waste disposal sites located in the state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, using land surface temperature (LST) data derived from the MOD11A1 product of the MODIS sensor and processed through the Google Earth Engine platform. The analyses included summer and winter periods of 2019 under both daytime and nighttime conditions, as well as spatial and temporal assessments of land surface temperature. The results revealed thermal differences among the evaluated sites, indicating the occurrence of distinct land surface temperature patterns. In general, the highest temperatures were observed during daytime in summer, whereas the lowest values occurred during nighttime and winter periods. Among the evaluated sites, the municipality of Iati consistently exhibited the highest maximum, minimum, and mean temperature values, as well as persistence of this behavior throughout the temporal analyses. The findings demonstrate that orbital land surface temperature data can be used to identify spatial and temporal thermal patterns in solid waste disposal areas, contributing to environmental monitoring at a regional scale.
