NDTI-processed imagery using 1999-2021 Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 OLI data, processed with SHARQ and ORCAA. Displayed is an East-oriented view of St. Joseph Peninsula off the Florida panhandle. Brighter shades of pink indicate greater change in turbidity levels post-Hurricane Michael, while shades of purple represent lower turbidity change. This increase in sediment post-hurricane indicates disturbed aquatic vegetation due to extreme storm events.
