Building on the results of community heat mapping efforts 26 July 2019

Building on the results of community heat mapping efforts

Following successful completion of an urban heat mapping campaign in Portland, Oregon in 2016, the map produced through the community effort was used in a study on effective ways to cool the city's urban areas. The study, requested by the City of Portland, shows the substantial cooling effect of planting trees and vegetation in urban areas.

Citizen scientists take to the streets to map the hottest places in ten U.S. cities 24 July 2019

Citizen scientists take to the streets to map the hottest places in ten U.S. cities

With specially designed sensors mounted on their own cars, volunteers in each city will drive pre-planned routes, recording heat and humidity as they go. Scientists will stitch their results into a detailed map showing the hottest parts of each city.

Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series continues with "Green Cooling Infrastructure"

Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series continues with "Green Cooling Infrastructure"

The National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) and its partners are hosting a webinar series to feature case studies on what happens after communities conduct their urban heat island mapping campaigns. On September 30th at 3PM EDT, the fifth of the series, "Green Cooling Infrastructure" will take place and will feature communities that have implemented solutions to obtain heat resilience through green infrastructure. The session will highlight case studies from Philadelphia and Pawtucket and explore how they were able to implement green infrastructure, and by doing so, strengthen community cohesion and resilience. The intersection with environmental justice, public health, crime reduction, and equitable approaches to improvements that benefit residents will be threaded throughout the webinar.
