SciLine’s next media briefing will cover the basics of urban heat and related weather patterns, the effects of extreme heat on human health and wellbeing—including disproportionate impacts on low-income populations—and strategies for designing more heat-resilient cities. Three scientific experts will brief reporters, and then take questions on the record.
