Extreme heat events and health vulnerabilities among immigrant and newcomer populations
Environmental Health Review, 2021With higher temperatures linked to increased human morbidity and mortality, the projected increase in the number of extreme heat events (EHEs) due to climate change poses increased risks.

Preparing for Extreme Heat Events: Practices in Identifying Mortality
Health Security, 2016Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme heat events. These events affect cities in increasingly abrupt and catastrophic ways; yet, many of the deaths caused by exposure to heat have gone unnoticed or are inaccurately identified, resulting in a lack of urgency in addressing this issue.

Strategic locating of refuges for extreme heat events (or heat waves)
Urban Climate, 2018Abstract Public cooling centers are a recommended component of heat management plans aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality during extreme heat events. Access to air conditioned space is known to reduce health risks associated with heat exposure, it is not known if these facilities are well positioned to serve those who are vulnerable to heat ...

Extreme heat events result in higher indoor temperatures in buildings, increased energy consumption, and more frequent health problems, mainly between the children, the elderly over 65, and vulnerable low-income people. The indoor environment plays a key

Rising risks of compound extreme heat‐precipitation events in China
International Journal of Climatology, 2022AbstractWhile the changes of extreme weather and climate events have been well investigated, the change of compound events (i.e., combinations of multiple weather/climate extremes and/or hazards), which severely affect the biophysical and human systems, remains poorly understood. Here, we examine the decadal trends of subsequently (or “preconditioned”)

Connecting Extreme Heat Events to Climate Change: Media Coverage of Heat Waves and Wildfires
, 2020This research tests the popular press assumption that media are not discussing climate change in coverage of heat waves and wildfires. Change over time in English-language media coverage is assessed, from 2013 to 2018, including 37 news outlets from five

Climate warming has increased the frequency of extreme heat events. Alien species usually invade new areas with a low-density population and often have limited mating opportunities due to the unsynchronized emergence of adults.

Estimates of the impact of extreme heat events on cooling energy demand in Hong Kong
Renewable Energy, 2019To better understand the relationship between energy consumption, and prevailing climatic condition, the present study uses Hong Kong’s observed air temperature records, end-use electricity consumption, and population datasets to: (a) investigate the ...
