The world directory
Cities and dense town clusters come from the European Commission's GHSL 2025 settlement polygons. GeoNames labels are matched inside these polygons; they do not change their boundaries.

NASA IMERG rainfall, MODIS vegetation, Black Marble nightlights, Sentinel-5P NO₂, FIRMS fire detections and Copernicus river/flood layers can enrich a place's profile. These optional layers are not published as observations in this preview. Missing imagery never becomes a favourable score.
NASA open data, European Union/Copernicus data and GeoNames are used with their respective attribution and reuse conditions. Third-party notices. Source-check snapshots are dated separately from the environmental publication.
