Extreme heat episodes and risk of preterm birth in California, 2005–2013
Environment International, 2020 Background: Preterm birth is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Identifying potentially modifiable triggers toward the end of gestation, such as extreme heat, can improve understanding of the role of acute stress on early deliveries and ...

Journal of the American Planning Association, 2021 Extreme heat is the deadliest climate hazard in the United States. Climate change and the urban heat island effect are increasing the number of dangerously hot days in cities worldwide and the need for communities to plan for extreme heat. Existing literature on heat planning focuses on heat island mapping and modeling, whereas few studies delve into ...

Extreme heat and runoff extremes in the Swiss Alps [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2007 Abstract. The hydrological response of Swiss river basins to the 2003 European summer heatwave was evaluated by a combined analysis of historical discharge records and specific applications of distributed hydrological modeling. In the summer of 2003, the discharge from headwater streams of the Swiss Central Plateau was only 40%–60% of the long-term ...

On the Controlling Factors for Globally Extreme Humid Heat [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 AbstractHumid heat presents a major societal challenge through its impacts on human health, energy demand, and economic productivity, underlined by the projected emergence of conditions beyond human tolerance. However, systematic assessment of what drives the most extreme humid heat worldwide has been lacking.
