Atlanta’s urban heat island under extreme heat conditions and potential mitigation strategies

In the Atlanta area, many of those populations reside at or south of I-20 or in a pocket just along I-85 in Gwinnett. My colleagues and I will have a much more robust analysis forthcoming with redlining, Census, and Daymet data. Our 2009 paper https://t.c

#HeatExtremes disproportionately affect the most vulnerable community members, and are particularly deadly in densely populated urban centers such as Atlanta. @urbanheatatl is mapping #Atlanta's hotspots with community scientists. #climateaction #climateju

#HeatWaves in #Atlanta lasted an average of 14 days. That's two straight weeks of #ExtremeHeat! What can we do to help? @DrShepherd2013 & Yan Zhou of @universityofga examined #UrbanHeatIslands & mitigation strategies: https://t.co/BoGXjf2mB0 #urb

@RyanMaue Indeed, we sounded this alarm in our 2009 paper, actually found albedo mod more effective but trees important too...We go even further with new engineering citirs for thermal justice efforts--https://t.co/N70G0Xnk31
