Urban Atlas: Rotterdam, Netherlands
Urban Atlas: Rotterdam, Netherlands
Urban Atlas is an EU Copernicus program that provides inter-comparable, high-resolution land use and land cover data for cities across Europe. The data used in these maps was collected between 2017 and 2019, revised in July, 2021. The goal of this project was to better understand the land use of Rotterdam. It's amazing how accessible parks are for a city with such a dense urban fabric.
Average Tempurature by Month: Colorado High Country
Average Tempurature by Month: Colorado High Country
The gif to the right is shows the average temperature in Colorado's high country between 1970 and 2000. High Country is the general term for the mountainous part of Colorado, USA. The study area below is especially popular for hiking, mountain biking and skiing. The goal of this project was to see the change in temperature from month to month. It is fascinating how big of a difference there is between the mountains and the flat urban area seen on the far right elbow.
Remote Sensing: Colorado High Country
Remote Sensing: Colorado High Country
As much as we'd like to, sometimes we can't physically inspect a place due to time or logistical difficulty. Remote sensing is a powerful tool to bridge the gap. The study area contains both urban and less developed areas. If you already know where the agricultural parts of Colorado are, you can easily find them in the True Color Image. If you don't the False Color and NDVI make is pretty easy to spot.

Cloudiness in the Baltic Sea Region
Cloudiness in the Baltic Sea Region
A key use case for remote sensing data is to assist in planning our energy future. Solar panels are a popular alterative for energy, but does it make sense to install them everywhere? The Baltic Sea Region is especially cloudy for half the year and investors want to know if solar panels are worth the investment. The first step to answering this question is better understanding cloud patterns and the potential radiation available through out the year. Below is a map, starting to build this foundational understanding. CMSAF's R Toolbox was used to develop this map.

When it comes to maps, looks do matter. From colors to sizing, little details can make a huge difference on the readability and impact of a map. Grouping and colors were especially important to making movement data more legible. Typically I don't use a black background, but in this case it brings clarity.
