Key products and services to be delivered include: Development of a Climate and Health Risk Tool...
This $332,562 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports the development of a hyperlocal temperature model covering the contiguous United States from 2000-2020. The model will use satellite data, land use features, and elevation to predict daily temperatures at the 30m road segment level. This hyperlocal temperature data will then be used to identify urban heat islands, hot and cold...
