![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. ](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-11/2022Sum_AZ_HawaiiClimate_WebsiteImage_0.jpg.webp?itok=k16qFZYS)

![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.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-11/2022Sum_MA_KansasCityDisasters_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=WCOEqekJ)

![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)

![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.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-02/2022Fall_GA_Disasters_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=_4Frkxe1)

![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)
