![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.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-02/2022Fall_LaRC_YoungstownWarrenDisasters_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=EkdUM8uk)

![Stormwater retention across Wyandotte County, Kansas. NASA GPM IMERG data for September 2020 – August 2021 and NLCD 2019 Land Cover data were used as model inputs for the InVEST Stormwater Retention Model. One model output included a stormwater retention ratio layer where darker purple values indicate poor stormwater retention and increased flood risk. Areas of poor stormwater retention can then be identified as priority regions for Green Infrastructure initiatives in Wyandotte County.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-02/2022Fall_MA_KansasCityDisastersII_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=sqRBpysQ)

![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.
