Impervious surface imagery derived from Landsat 9 OLI-2 data. This composite was captured over the Finger Lakes region between April and October of 2022. Blue hues indicate dense vegetation while yellow hues indicate impervious areas. Areas in green indicate agricultural fields of interest to NGOs in the region that aim to prevent the conversion of agricultural lands to urban development.

Albedo derived from Landsat 8 & 9 OLI data throughout summer 2019 to 2023. White beige pixels signify effective solar radiation reflection (higher albedo), followed by peach, violet, and dark purple. This data is input for the InVEST Urban Cooling model, which calculates heat dissipation efficiency. Light-colored roofs and dense vegetation can increase albedo. Urban areas with lots of purple patches may be more vulnerable to heat, making them a priority for heat mitigation efforts.
