Climate Resilience

The video discusses how New York City uses satellite data to prepare for climate change effects, focusing on climate resilience. It explains how NASA scientists use climate models to predict sea level rise, which informs city planning against storms like Hurricane Sandy. The video also covers urban heat islands, highlighting how city layouts and the loss of green spaces contribute to increased temperatures, with NASA using thermal satellite data to study these effects.

In what ways do green spaces contribute to cooling urban areas?

How do city layouts affect the heat produced in urban environments?
