Our GIS team is on the frontline of innovation, constantly incorporating new research and technology into our workflow. Heat mapping is a great way to assess and visualize the impact of heat on local communities. Using Landsat and ground-truthed data, we can produce surface temperature heat maps and derive heat risk classes with additional vulnerability analysis on Google Earth Engine and ArcGIS.
