Hummingbird foraging preferences during extreme heat events [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Climate change is projected to increase global mean annual temperatures as well as the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events. These changes are anticipated to alter the behavior of animals as they seek to thermoregulate in extreme heat.

Comparing Local Versus Hemispheric Perspectives of Extreme Heat Events
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 We compare insights provided by local and large‐scale perspectives of extreme heat events in ERA5 near‐surface temperature data. Heat waves where temperatures exceed four standard deviations about the climatological‐mean are expected less than once a ...

Social connection as a public health adaptation to extreme heat events. [PDF]
Can J Public Health, 2020 AbstractClimate change is an increasingly important public health issue, reflected in morbidity and mortality outcomes during extreme heat events. At the same time, the harms of social isolation with respect to a wide range of health outcomes are becoming better understood.

Public Health Preparedness for Extreme Heat Events [PDF]
Annual Review of Public Health, 2023 Heat is a dangerous hazard that causes acute heat illness, chronic disease exacerbations, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and a range of injuries. Risks are highest during extreme heat events (EHEs), which challenge the capacity of health systems and other critical infrastructure.

Depopulation, super aging, and extreme heat events in South Korea. [PDF]
Clim Risk Manag, 2022 South Korea's population is declining and its composition changing, associated with lowest-low fertility rates and rapid aging (super aging). When estimating changes in future exposure to extreme heat events (EHE), events that are predicted to be intensified due to climate change, it is important to incorporate demographic dynamics. We analyze business-

Predicting indoor heat exposure risk during extreme heat events. [PDF]
Sci Total Environ, 2014 Increased heat-related morbidity and mortality are expected direct consequences of global warming. In the developed world, most fatal heat exposures occur in the indoor home environment, yet little is known of the correspondence between outdoor and indoor heat.
