A big thank you to the University of Vermont Spatial Analysis Lab who analyzed the data and drafted the report!
ABOUT THE PROJECT
EXPLORE THE MAP
This map does not represent all the data available for download.
A quick note on legends:
The list format on the left is the same as the expanded legend on the right
This platform limits map legends to a list format and so we want to point out that the colors you see are not equal increments. For each of the layers in this map, we chose this method of grouping values to illuminate differences with a reasonable number of colors. This example shows the Mean Heat Index legend. Some values are more common than others. When there are only a few occurrences of a value, like 100.6°F, it's helpful to group it together with other values rather than giving it a unique color. This is just one approach to visualizing the canopy data!
