💻 I took several completely independent datasets and "pitted" them against each other. One of the results is shown in this chart: the more "concrete" (roads, buildings, parking lots) my machine learning model identified in a community, the higher the surface temperature recorded by the thermal sensor.

🔥 The result: Data from different sources confirm one another. The difference in surface temperature between "green" and "concrete" residential areas averages 8–10°C throughout the summer. On certain days, this gap is likely even wider.

📉 This chart shows only established residential communities. If industrial zones were included, the trend would be even more dramatic. While modeling errors certainly exist, the overall physical pattern is undeniable.

Assessment of Shoreline Change in Southeast Ireland Using Geospatial Techniques
--
https://doi.org/10.3390/su18073280 <-- shared paper
--
"... KEY INSIGHTS:
• Coastlines are highly dynamic — 57% accretion vs 42% erosion
• Strong contrasts between east-facing (Irish Sea) and south-facing (Atlantic) coasts
• Identification of critical erosion hotspots (e.g., Tramore) and accretion zones in embayments
• Coastal change is driven by a combination of wave climate, sediment availability, geology, and human activity

In the distant 2016, when I was a member of an environmental NGO in Kryvyi Rih (Ukraine), I started using satellite Earth Observation data to monitor the condition of large industrial tailings ponds.

At that time, environmental regulations required these storage facilities to be either flooded or at least kept moist to prevent dust storms.
Industrial operators often ignored these rules, leaving huge dry surfaces exposed — which created massive dust pollution affecting nearby communities.

Using Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 imagery with false-color composites, I developed a simple but effective method to map dry, moist, and water-covered zones of tailings ponds.

Local residents and journalists were absolutely delighted! Industrial companies, on the other hand… reacted very differently 🤣

These maps are from 2016–2017 and show several tailings facilities around #KryvyiRih.
