Urban Heat Island Maps

OSHA is interested in obtaining information about hazardous heat in the workplace, interventions and controls used to prevent heat illness, and diverse perspectives and expertise on topics including heat stress thresholds, heat acclimatization planning, and exposure monitoring. Recommendations should account for indoor and outdoor work environments and businesses of all different sizes.

Applications are now open for the 2022 Urban Heat Island Mapping Campaign by the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) and CAPA Strategies. NOAA will provide funding to CAPA Strategies to support campaigns in approximately 8-10 communities in 2022. Learn more about the campaigns and how to apply. 

NASA JPL, in coordination with RTI International, is undertaking a study to inform the applications, information access, and product development of a next generation, global mission, called Surface Biology and Geology (SBG). SBG is envisioned to capture data in the VSWIR (hyperspectral) and TIR (multispectral, 5 bands 8-12um, 1 band in Mid IR).

If you are passionate about addressing the threat of urban heat, then NASA wants to hear from you how SBG can support your work! Participation in the study has been extended to October 22^nd.
