This $591,203 Project Grant awarded on July 15, 2023 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences supports a study to enhance the understanding of dangerous heat extremes affecting U.S. cities. The project evaluates climate metrics beyond just temperature to better represent heat risks, connects historical heat extremes to weather and climate patterns, and uses advanced statistical techniques to compare model outputs and make future projections. The results will be communicated to public health and urban planning partners to aid their response to these climate threats. The project also provides valuable training for graduate students in statistical modeling, data visualization, climate modeling, and climate communication, contributing to the broader scientific community and society. This award is co-funded by the NSF Directorate for Geosciences to support advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning in the geosciences.
