Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) to visualize drainage networks around the Unalakleet River in Alaska, calculated from an August 2021 Landsat 8 OLI image. Yellow represents standing or flowing water and potential flood zones, while the dark blue represents drier, upland regions. Unalakleet's climate resilience planning prioritizes relocation to upland regions while avoiding areas that have experienced significant permafrost degradation.
