With summer heatwaves intensifying, I overlaid #MODIS LST and #GHSL 2030 population to spot where heat and people collide

Hmmm let do this, next time I will zoom in to Lagos and use colors that really highlights the LST effects!

One thing to note is that there are no red colors in the legend. One might expect high LST values in Lagos, but they are represented using blue the color indicating the highest LST level

MODIS LST × Canopy Height = a map where trees cool, cities heat 🌿🔥

South = cooler, denser
North = hotter, barer

🟡 Mapping Africa's Aid Inequity: 15 years where global aid fell below average. 🚨

Using R, I visualized this disparity in an animated map. In 2005, Africa got just 4.9% of global aid, less than 1 in 20 dollars.
