🌿 NDVI change in Calgary’s Weaselhead Flats (2024 → 2025)

This map shows how vegetation in one of Calgary’s most diverse natural areas responded to the city’s unusually wet summer of 2025.
Greener shades mark zones where NDVI increased most strongly compared to 2024 — the same floodplain and forest patches that locals know for dense canopy recovery.

Even modest year-to-year shifts in temperature and rainfall leave clear spatial traces in NDVI — a reminder of how sensitive urban ecosystems are to climate variability, and how well open-data satellite products can capture it.
