The purpose of this site is to increase public access to climate risk data while showcasing some of the datasets the Risk group uses to communicate climate risk to the communities and external partners it works with.
- Drought index [NEX-GDDP-CMIP6]
- Annual precipitation [NEX-GDDP-CMIP6]
- Wildfire danger days [NEX-GDDP-CMIP6]
- Annual mean temperature [NEX-GDDP-CMIP6]
- Hot days (days over 90°F) [NEX-GDDP-CMIP6]
- Lethal heat [Woodwell]
- Warm nights (nights over 20°C) [NEX-GDDP-CMIP6]
- Sea level rise depth value [NASA, Hammond et al. (2021)]
- Tropical cyclone return period [STORM]
Our boundary files came from Natural Earth. So far, we have used:
All SHP files were converted to GeoJSON format in GeoPandas. From there, we used Tippecanoe to convert the GeoJSON files to Mapbox .mbtiles format and used the Mapbox tool mbutil to convert those tiles to .pbf format.
For back-end data analysis/transformation of NetCDF and TIF files, we used Python and R. Those rasters were then converted to Zarr pyramids using CarbonPlan's ndpyramid package.
This site's interface and functionality rely heavily on code developed by CarbonPlan. Specifically, we used the maps, components, and layouts libraries. We took inspiration from CarbonPlan's forest risks code repository to create an updated and modified user interface for this data viewer.
