![NDVI-processed imagery from Landsat 8 OLI data. This composite image of Wichita, KS, was created using 2018–2022 summer imagery. Lighter shades of yellow indicate limited vegetation in built-up areas and bodies of water, while darker shades of purple indicate dense vegetation. Understanding the spatial distribution of vegetation, such as tree canopy, is essential to recognizing and mitigating heat risk, and prioritizing intervention.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-11/2022Sum_VEJ_WichitaClimate_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=1WmU74Wp)

![Landsat 8 OLI data processed into the median NDVI for 2016-2021 with an overlay showing deforestation that occurred during this time period in the Talladega National Forest. The deforestation layer is derived from Global Forest Watch's forest cover data, which uses the Landsat series, and was calculated as the difference between forested areas in 2016 and forested areas in 2021. Shades of green indicate the density of forest, while red areas indicate areas deforested in 2021.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-02/2022Fall_PUP_SoutheastUSClimate_WebsiteImage.jpeg.webp?itok=9thA-LxI)

![Daytime land surface temperature for Wichita, Kansas summer 2017-2022, retrieved through Landsat 8 TIRS and Landsat 9 TIRS-2 surface temperature. Located in the northwest corner of the city, this image depicts higher temperatures through dark orange hues in developed areas, and lighter orange hues to blue colors where the temperature is lower. The land surface temperature was utilized to construct a heat vulnerability index for the city, looking into disproportionate impacts on underserved communities.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-02/2022Fall_VEJ_WichitaClimateII_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=oO4F6bs4)

![Eastern region of the Baa Atoll in the Republic of Maldives. The red indicates areas that would likely be flooded by 2100 according to the most extreme IPCC AR6 Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenario, as identified through the NASA Sea Level Projection Tool. CoastalDEM, derived from NASA's SRTM sensor, provided elevation data. The base map image was taken in January 2023 by Planet Labs. Shades of yellow and green indicate shallow water and land surfaces.

SOC is visualized against combined MODIS landcover data for the year 2000 from Aqua and Terra. Shades of lighter pink indicate lower SOC content and darker shades of pink and purple indicate higher SOC content. Conservation International is interested in mapping areas of high SOC content for their conservation efforts.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_GSFC_Peru%26BoliviaClimate_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=RJ-8Cuuo)
