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.

Visualization of mean smoke fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from the Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System (CMAQ; Wilkins et al. 2018) and average maximum temperatures from gridMET (Abatzoglou 2011) from August 2008, alongside a census-tract level indicator of poverty (CalEnviroScreen 4.0). Darker red shades indicate higher PM2.5 exposure, temperatures, and poverty.
