- This Project Grant award of $177,996.00, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, investigates the spatial and temporal patterns of urban heat islands (UHI) and urban pollution islands (UPI) at the neighborhood scale. The project aims to develop geographical methods to better understand how UHI and UPI interact and affect heat and air quality for urban residents. Key activities include: Collecting fine-scale ground...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $399,945 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Denver to investigate the impacts of extreme heat on transit riders in urban areas. This grant, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will examine how urban planning, land cover, and microclimate conditions influence thermal comfort and perceptions of heat exposure for transit users, especially lower-income...
- This $255,344 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Notre Dame aimed at advancing understanding of interactions between urban systems and storms and heatwaves. Specifically, the grant supports analysis of how intra-urban land surface properties and characteristics, urban aerosols, and changing urban landscapes impact extreme weather events in cities like Chicago, New York, and Denver. The University will utilize numerical modeling, new measurement...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will fund a multi-site study to investigate the relationships between climate change-related extreme weather events and acute and chronic health outcomes in children. The $687,343 award to Drexel University will support efforts to: 1) estimate associations between extreme weather (hot temperatures, heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and intense...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $647,273 Project Grant to Arizona State University under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support research from 2021-2026 to develop coupled climate and human health models to build pathways for extreme heat resilience. Leveraging its expertise in climate modeling and epidemiology, ASU will integrate climate change projections with health vulnerability data to identify communities most at risk from rising temperatures. The...
- The federal Project Grant award of $473,523 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) will support Dr. Xiao Wu's research to develop an evaluation framework for assessing the effectiveness of heat warning systems and an implementation framework for informing when and where to issue heat alerts to maximize health benefits. The research will study the causal effects of heat alerts on daily, cause-specific health...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to Rutgers, The State University, located in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
