![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.

![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)

![On April 20, 2023, Gasmine Myers, Julie Silva, and Sergii Skakun participated in the Fort Belknap Indian Community’s Annual Earth Day Fair in Harlem, Montana. The event was organized by the Fort Belknap Environmental Protection Department and over 200 students in Grades 4-6 attended the event. Gasmine, Julie, and Sergii ran an educational activity —adapted from an issue of NASA’s EOKids—titled ‘Watching Wildfires from Space’ that demonstrated how wildfires are monitored using satellites and Earth observatio](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-07/Silva%20Project%20Page%20Image.png.webp?itok=n4fR9Edf)
