![Average aerosol optical depth (AOD) for the months of May and June in 2015 in Oregon and Washington, derived from MODIS data. Orange represents higher aerosol concentrations whereas purple represents areas with lower aerosol concentrations. The AOD averages show higher observed AOD along the coasts of Oregon and Washington.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-01/2023Sum_NC_PacificNorthWestHAQ_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=CKJ1vDx_)

![2022 imagery of 95th percentile Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data from Terra/Aqua MODIS mapped against social vulnerability data from the EPA's EJScreen within the San Joaquin Valley's census tracts. Pink indicates higher levels of at-risk populations, and blue indicates higher levels of AOD. Darker shades of blue and purple indicate an overlap of high levels of air pollution and high at-risk population.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-01/2023Sum_VEJ_SanJoaquinValleyHAQ_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=RWE-BbSo)

![Austin Multi-hazard Risk Index (flood + wildfire + heat + social vulnerability). The multi-hazard index previously computed utilized non-remote sensing, City-based data. An objective of the current project is to produce a similar index integrating remote sensing and socio-economic data. The current index shows there are clear spatial patterns with higher multi-hazard risk located in environmental justice communities in Austin.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-03/Climate%20hazard%20composite%20index.jpg.webp?itok=92aBbWp5)

![This example map from Hang’s project indicates MODIS land surface temperature over selected underserved communities in Atlanta in early 2005. This map was co-designed by residents from those communities that are concerned about the seasonal change of extreme weather, air pollution, accessibility to green space such as parks and Atlanta BeltLine.

![Thermal imagery of Denver bus stop in the afternoon displaying large variability in surface temperatures due to land cover types and shading. Tripods in center of image are recording wet and dry globe temperatures and windspeed. Combining fine-scale surface temperature data, with high-resolution land cover data, we can build a land cover regression to downscale Landsat thermal imagery for all metropolitan transit locations in Denver.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-04/Ibsen%20Project%20Page%20Image.png.webp?itok=C4igDYv8)
