Kernel density distributions of census tract-level cooling degree days from May through September 2013 in Fahrenheit by race/ethnicity across the climate regions of New York State. Cooling degree days are calculated with a threshold of 65°. White = Non-Hispanic White, Hispanic = Hispanic/Latino of any race, Black = Non-Hispanic Black, Asian = Non-Hispanic Asian.

Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) to visualize drainage networks around the Unalakleet River in Alaska, calculated from an August 2021 Landsat 8 OLI image. Yellow represents standing or flowing water and potential flood zones, while the dark blue represents drier, upland regions. Unalakleet's climate resilience planning prioritizes relocation to upland regions while avoiding areas that have experienced significant permafrost degradation.

Runoff retention values in Richmond, VA estimated by the InVEST Urban Flood Risk Mitigation Model for a June 2, 2018, extreme rainfall event measured by GPM IMERG. Dark blue areas have high runoff retention capacity and absorbed more of the rainfall during the storm; light green areas absorbed less rainfall during the storm, increasing the likelihood of pluvial flooding. Pluvial flood risk maps help inform community planners’ efforts to protect vulnerable populations.
