Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) processed imagery from ECOSTRESS data, captured on October 4, 2021, for Marin County in the San Francisco Bay Area. Darker regions have a higher ESI value, signifying moister conditions, while lighter regions are drier. Vegetative moisture has a significant impact on fire severity and understanding localized moisture conditions can inform the county’s fire suppression efforts. Land outside of Marin County shows NDVI processed imagery derived from Sentinal-2A data.

Canopy cover in the greater Ben Delatour Scout Ranch region from a 2013 NAIP Image with a slope and aspect layer derived from a 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM). This image illustrates how elevation-derived variables are used to inform classification models to map canopy cover. Canopy is displayed as red, and the map illustrates that there are higher concentrations of canopy on northern aspects- illustrating the nature of tree density in our study region. ​
