![Daytime average land surface temperature over June 2022 from ECOSTRESS, an instrument on the ISS. Warm colors highlight the City of Huntsville, which is surrounded by central North Alabama. In both color gradients, darker colors represent higher temperatures. The Tennessee River, together with Wheeler Lake (left) and Lake Guntersville (right), appear black. Surface temperature is one factor that can help the local government decide where to focus tree-planting efforts to mitigate urban heat.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-01/2023Sum_MSFC_HuntsvilleUrbanII_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=4ZkWXUeU)

![NDVI-processed image from Landsat 8 OLI June 2022 data. Black and magenta indicates Portland's built landscape, with the bright magenta depicting the highest concentrations of impervious surfaces. In light pink, the Willamette River dissects the city with surrounding green vegetation. The NDVI conveys areas with high urban build-up with a lack of access to greenspace, illustrating lived experiences of urban heat and contributing to Depave's knowledge of areas that are in most need of depaving.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-01/2023Sum_VEJ_PortlandUrban_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=hUDAucTE)

![Thermal imagery of Denver bus stop in the afternoon displaying large variability in surface temperatures due to land cover types and shading. Tripods in center of image are recording wet and dry globe temperatures and windspeed. Combining fine-scale surface temperature data, with high-resolution land cover data, we can build a land cover regression to downscale Landsat thermal imagery for all metropolitan transit locations in Denver.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-04/Ibsen%20Project%20Page%20Image.png.webp?itok=C4igDYv8)
