How to map your urban heat island

“Your mission is to make the world’s urban heat islands visible in high resolution on a publicly available map. Your quest for this hackathon is to discover images of urban heat islands from within the EcoStress data set (available on the NASA website), process the images using QGIS, and apply the data to a Mapbox app that will be visible on a web browser. Your work will be added to a tool similar to Google’s Project Sunroof, where people can look up any property and see their heat island score. Read up more at: EcoStress technical information, Top 10 US cities with urban heat islands, UHI Wikipedia page, and 27 ways to protect your city, home and self from extreme heatwaves.“
