Tropical Tree Cover

This layer displays tree extent at the ten-meter scale and tree cover at the half hectare scale to enable accurate monitoring of trees in urban areas, agricultural lands, and in open canopy and dry forest ecosystems.

Electric School Bus Initiative

Dataset of Electric School Bus Adoption in the United States

This dataset tracks electric school bus (ESB) adoption across the United States. It tracks the number of "committed" ESBs at the school district level, as well as details about individual buses, including the bus manufacturer and funding source(s). It also tracks when each ESB passed through the phases of the adoption process and the current phase of each bus. The dataset contains school district socio-economic characteristics, like poverty rates, racial composition and air pollution to enable wider analysis including whether the transition to ESBs is happening equitably.

Urban Development

City-scale climate hazards at 1.5°C, 2.0°C, and 3.0°C of global warming

This dataset contains estimated average magnitudes and probabilities of extreme-magnitude exceedance for 14 climate hazards, calculated for the 996 cities larger than 500,000 in population, at recent historical level and 1.5°C, 2.0°C, and 3.0°C of global warming above pre-industrial baseline.
