![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.

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)
