Abstract
Across the globe, human and animal populations and the ecosystems in which they reside are experiencing pressures from climate change, both from slow-onset gradual changes and from rapid-onset events that are often large-scale and more intense. These pressures affect the health and resources of those exposed to them, but at present our knowledge of which outcomes are affected, the magnitude of the effects, and their longevity is limited.

Our satellite-based damage measures come from three publicly-available damage products produced after the tsunami and a measure we constructed using data from NASA’s MODIS sensor. Images from December 17, 2004 and December 29, 2004 were geographically linked using the MODIS reprojection tool.
