Data and Code for "Heat metrics and thresholds reshape population exposure and inequality signals"

This repository contains the code, input data, and processed outputs supporting the paper “Heat metrics and thresholds reshape population exposure and inequality signals.” It provides a reproducible workflow for quantifying heat exposure across the Mediterranean region under multiple heat metrics and threshold frameworks, including land surface temperature, air temperature, heat index, and wet-bulb globe temperature. The repository includes: (1) main Jupyter notebooks for exposure calculation, (2) exported Google Earth Engine outputs, (3) example visualization notebooks for exposure maps and bivariate maps, and (4) supporting input datasets. Some input datasets, including the population rasters and Mediterranean boundary data, need to be uploaded to the user’s own Google Earth Engine assets before running the main notebooks.
