A map uses a rainbow color scheme to depict when areas of the globe are expected to experience 2 degrees celcius of warming. Northern regions are colored red, indicating crossing 2 degrees of warming in 2020, with an irregular gradient to the southern regions shown in purple, indicating 2 degrees of warming by 2060.

Present day Island of Hawai'i coastal flood risk, with higher risk indicated in dark blue, was modeled to aid the County of Hawai'i in their shoreline setback plan. Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly (SSTA) data from 2022 GHRSST MODIS indicate low temperatures in the East (red) to high in the West (orange). Inland, high probability locations of wetlands are shown in bright yellow and will aid in climate adaptation planning. ​

2010 – 2021 NDWI-processed imagery of the greater Kansas City, Kansas region. This image combines Landsat 5, 7, and 8 highlighting dry areas in yellow through orange. Areas classified as water are identifiable in aqua blue. Areas of darker blue are considered wet but include cityscape. A major problem for urban flooding identification is the mixture of cityscape in wet areas, making it important for further investigation and data processing.
