[new national heat index product for the US, relying on USGS EROS impervious cover layer from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD)]

@USGS @EROS @CDC

schematic - heat exhaustion and heat stroke
A comparison of screenshots of the CDC Heat and Health Index in the Los Angeles area between the famous Beverly Hills zip code 90210 and nearby 90018 shows how risk factors can vary within 10 or 15 miles, even though both zones have a strong historical experience with heat and a considerable amount of developed environment.

[during a presentation recently, I was reminded of this 2015 paper’s content today (on which I was a co-author), back when papers wanted B&W images; I wonder how we might have proceeded now, with AI / Machine Learning…]
