Disproportionate exposure to urban heat island intensity across major US cities
Nature Communications, 2021 Urban heat stress poses a major risk to public health. Case studies of individual cities suggest that heat exposure, like other environmental stressors, may be unequally distributed across income groups.

Mitigating urban heat island effects in urban environments: strategies and tools
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2023 In the twenty-first century, urban heat islands (UHIs) have become a major problem for humanity as a consequence of urbanization and industrialization. The main causes of UHI are the vast amounts of heat generated by urban structures as they consume and ...
