The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science received a $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) on March 1, 2025. The grant, titled "RAISE: CHIRRP: Advancing Actionable Understanding of Chronic Heat Risks and Response Potentials in the Urbanized Subtropics," aims to develop new methods for measuring and managing chronic heat hazards in regions like Florida that experience prolonged periods of extreme temperatures and high humidity. The research will advance the understanding of chronic heat risks, how they vary based on location, and effective adaptive responses to inform planning and policy. The project will leverage transdisciplinary partnerships and student training to build research and workforce capacity to address climate change challenges in Florida and similar subtropical areas.
