Here is the data analysis for Calgary, Summer 2025. This chart shows the relationship between vegetation density (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST). The data reveals a critical "tipping point": vegetation only starts effectively cooling the environment once it reaches a specific density threshold. Below this threshold (the left side of the curve), green spaces stay just as hot as the surrounding concrete.Sparse or isolated trees don't act as air conditioners—they "burn" in the urban furnace right along with us. What does this mean for Calgary? Simply planting a few scattered trees isn't enough. To actually move the needle on temperature, we need dense, healthy green belts. Otherwise, it’s just a waste of water and resources.

Saturday Data Dive: Mapping Calgary’s Thermal Fingerprint ️Spent some quality time with GEE, R and Landsat-8/9 data today.I’ve just finished processing a Median Land Surface Temperature (LST) model for Calgary, covering the entire Summer of 2025. This isn't just a single-day snapshot—it’s a robust composite of many satellite scenes, filtered to show the true intra-urban thermal zones.Quick Takeaways: Surface temperature in some busines area and "heat traps" peaked at over 51.3°C. The contrast between our "Cool Islands" and "Extreme Heat Zones" is striking. This automated workflow in R allows for a granular look at urban climate resilience that standard reports often miss.I’m currently finalizing a full breakdown and a community-by-community analysis.Stay tuned—the detailed article is coming soon!#Calgary #DataScience #UrbanHeatIsland #RemoteSensing #ClimateResilience #Landsat #RStats #GIS #Sustainability #GEE #EnvironmentalData #Summer2025 #YYC #GreennessOfCalgary #Alberta #Canada

Calgary experienced a very wet and rainy summer in 2025. Naturally, the city’s vegetation responded vigorously to the high moisture levels, showing lush growth compared to the scorching summer of 2024. Among residential areas, tiny Roxboro showed the most significant "greening"! Meanwhile, the lowest "recovery" rates were observed in the city's newest communities.Read more about my research and explore the full data here:https://www.datastory.org.ua/how-much-greener-is-calgary-in-2025/#Calgary #NDVI #RemoteSensing #DataScience #Climate #YYC #OpenData #RStats #GreennessOfCalgary
