Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) calculated from Landsat 8 OLI showing land and aquatic vegetation around the Kankakee River in northeast Illinois on June 9, 2022. For land, dark blue represents high vegetation while light blue represents low vegetation. For water, light orange represents lack of aquatic vegetation, while purple represents the presence of aquatic vegetation. The image shows where along the Kankakee River aquatic vegetation exists.

Land use land cover unsupervised classification derived from Landsat 9 OLI-2 TOA imagery acquired in spring 2023. The image shows the city of Lincoln, Nebraska. Lighter blue and greens show vegetation and agriculture, and darker blues show the urban area (left) invading the river (right). Heavily urbanized areas nearby rivers are at higher risk of flooding and are candidates for the Audubon Great Plains' environmental restoration and flood mitigation initiative.
