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!

📌 Thematic hashtags I use in my Mastodon posts

To help readers navigate the different topics I work on, I use several specialized hashtags.
Here is a short overview of each one:

#GreennessOfCalgary — my project on analyzing the vegetation patterns and green spaces of Calgary using remote sensing, classification, and cartography.

#ClimateOfCalgary — visualization and analysis of local meteorological data.

#SvystunovaGully — materials from my Independent long-term study of geochemical processes in groundwater around a high-mineralized mine-water impoundment in Svystunova Gully (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15528794).

#InhuletsRiver — posts related to the research project on the technogenic impact on the Inhulets River (Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine), in which I take part.

#GeoDataArt #GeoSpectralArt — beautiful images that emerge during the analysis of satellite data.

The list will expand as my projects evolve.
