NDVI time series regression for the year 2021 using Landsat 8 ETM+ data within the Adirondack Park in upstate New York. Red represents the amplitude of the regression, green represents the phase of the regression, and blue represents the median NDVI. This imagery was used to help determine where ash trees are present.

Water quality times series regression for the year 2020 using Landsat 8 ETM+ data of Aquatic Preserves in Florida. Dark Green represents the amplitude of Chlorophyll-A levels, DEM model overlayed on top represents Submerged Aquatic Vegetation. This imagery was used to help determine water quality for mangroves in 2020.

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. ​

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.

Median daily evapotranspiration (ET) from September 2021 to May 2022 calculated from ISS ECOSTRESS data. The image covers the agricultural fields adjacent to the Maipo River, Chile and depicts water stress. The color scale ranges from red (low ET) to blue (high ET), with higher ET observed over irrigated agricultural fields. ET is used for estimating crop irrigation requirements. This data will inform irrigation management practices and help alleviate water scarcity within the area. ​

Aqua MODIS-derived nighttime land surface temperature climate normal for 2002–2022 across the southeastern portion of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Shades of green and blue indicate lower mean nighttime temperatures while shades of orange and red indicate higher temperatures. Tinajas in areas with higher (red) nighttime temperatures are at risk of drying out. This data will help park managers prioritize conservation in identified areas as warming and drying trends continue across the western Sonoran
