Kernel density distributions of census tract-level cooling degree days from May through September 2013 in Fahrenheit by race/ethnicity across the climate regions of New York State. Cooling degree days are calculated with a threshold of 65°. White = Non-Hispanic White, Hispanic = Hispanic/Latino of any race, Black = Non-Hispanic Black, Asian = Non-Hispanic Asian.

Austin Multi-hazard Risk Index (flood + wildfire + heat + social vulnerability). The multi-hazard index previously computed utilized non-remote sensing, City-based data. An objective of the current project is to produce a similar index integrating remote sensing and socio-economic data. The current index shows there are clear spatial patterns with higher multi-hazard risk located in environmental justice communities in Austin.

This example map from Hang’s project indicates MODIS land surface temperature over selected underserved communities in Atlanta in early 2005. This map was co-designed by residents from those communities that are concerned about the seasonal change of extreme weather, air pollution, accessibility to green space such as parks and Atlanta BeltLine.
