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.​

NDWI-processed imagery from Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager data. This mosaicked image was taken from January to December 2021 of Jekyll Island, Georgia. NDWI contrasts the water features in a satellite image to its surroundings by measuring the moisture content. Low moisture content is shown in white, and high moisture content is shown in blue.

NDBI-processed imagery from a June 2022 Landsat 9 OLI-2 image. This composite image shows the cities of Warren (top left) and Youngstown (bottom right). The areas in white and brown represent the built environment. While areas in green represent land that is not as built-up, such as forest. Built-up areas can indicate where surface run off could occur, resulting in pluvial flooding.
