The webinar will explore how increasing community engagement in both understanding and measuring urban heat through the use of a novel participatory research campaign framework can lead to climate action efficacy in US cities.

The workshop brought together a diverse community to share developments in research and application of weather and climate information for societal decision-making.

Jones is set to discuss the social equity implications of extreme heat and how the NIHHIS-funded urban heat island mapping campaigns are providing vital information. This highly visible event will reach hundreds to thousands of Weather-Ready Nation ambassadors interested in extreme heat risk mitigation and social equity

The app provides easy access to data from the NOAA urban heat island mapping campaigns for researchers, government offices, and other users. 

This position will focus on the extreme heat and health activities of the Climate and Health portfolio, working as a member of both the Extreme Heat Risk Initiative and the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS). 

This position will be located at the NOAA Climate Program Office in Silver Spring, MD.
