![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)

![Forest cover and land surface temperature (LST) around Maine's Penobscot River during Summer 2021. The shades of green distinguish between evergreen (dark) and deciduous (light) forest which were classified using Landsat 8 OLI imagery. The purple gradient corresponds to LST derived from Terra MODIS where the warmest areas, including Bangor, are white. Changing land use and warming temperatures along Maine’s rivers are associated with reducing juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) survivorship.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-11/2022Sum_GSFC_MaineEcoIII_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=EiYDdUqO)

![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)

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)
