Description:

As extreme heat episodes become longer, more frequent, and more intense worldwide due to climate change and urban growth, research applications that characterize risks of adverse impacts to human health and related/indirect compounding issues affecting health such as critical infrastructure failure and the economic impacts  can help to identify vulnerable populations and target appropriate heat interventions. We invite abstracts that examine extreme heat risks from distinct approaches, including temperature forecasting, occupational health, sports medicine, exposure assessment, and urban planning.
