The 1st peer-reviewed article coming out of the @UclaHeatLab, co-authored with 4 of the students in my lab. Incarcerated folks are at the frontline of climate change. Incarceration makes people more likely to experience heat-related illness and death (1/5) bit.ly/3FFY9y0
This Sunday, I'll be speaking @MOCAlosangeles about the effects of extreme heat (and probably the Santa Ana winds) as part of "A Climate Symposium: Landscapes on the Edge," which draws on themes from the Josh Kline exhibit. If you're in LA, come through! moca.org/program/a-clim…
The @washingtonpost spoke to #UCLALuskin’s @VKellyTurner, assoc. dir. of @LuskinCenter, about a new push to turn asphalt schoolyards into greener spaces that provide cooling relief at a time of rising temperatures. Read more... #UCLA @UCLA @UCLAurbnplnning luskin.ucla.edu/schools-and-he…
Great to see the Guardian putting the modern global heating in a paleoclimate perspective! “There’s nothing in Earth’s history that shows a change happening this quickly, it’s just so, so fast. Right now the pace of change is one of the biggest concerns.” theguardian.com/environment/ar…
It is, in fact, insane & a transparent attempt to streamline building in fire-prone areas by moving the focus from the landscape risks to building techniques. But the landscape is more important and that is what developers don't like because it puts some areas off limits.
A heated debate is brewing over a proposed bill to abolish California's wildfire hazard severity maps. Supporters say it will create more consistent safety standards; opponents say it will increase housing development in fire-prone areas. Story here: latimes.com/environment/st…
“#ExtremeHeat is the leading weather-related cause of death in the United States. This first-of-its-kind #NationalHeatStrategy will ensure that the federal family is working in lockstep to help communities build a more heat-resilient nation.” - @fema_Deanne @fema
NEW: The National Heat Strategy for 2024–2030 will guide federal agencies in developing science-based solutions and improving resources, communications and decision-making related to hazardous heat. Learn more at bit.ly/4dkZeat.
If you’re interested in climate/weather, it’s worth reading Project 2025’s recommendations for NOAA. Summary (p664): “(NOAA) should be dismantled & many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states” 🧵
"Please help us, they’re not doing anything for us." "If we were animals, they’d be treating us better." "We can't breathe." @SamTLevin shows the cruel reality inside CA's largest women's prison, where a woman died on Saturday as temperatures climbed above 110 degrees.
A new @latimes op-ed written with one of my fave colleagues, Dr. Nick Shapiro (@zBoratory), about California’s new indoor heat rules, the exclusion of prisons, and what we can do about it (hint: it includes closing prisons) @UclaHeatLab @Carceral_ECO @UCLAlifesci @UCLALabor
NEW: The National Heat Strategy for 2024–2030 will guide federal agencies in developing science-based solutions and improving resources, communications and decision-making related to hazardous heat. Learn more at bit.ly/4dkZeat.
Finally, we contemplate the future of thermal inequity and potential solutions to mitigate its effects. Full Episode Here: tinyurl.com/32dunwje
Delhi temperature hits 52.9C, shattering India’s national record theguardian.com/world/article/…
2-year post-doc opportunity in #spatial #health #extremeheat and #shade research using #bigdata with me at @UCLAIoES with @VKellyTurner and @Sahar_drk. See link for details and application recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF09365 pls RT. Image from previous work sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Join @JenniVanos @ArianeMiddel and I as we discuss why #shade is the essential solution for schoolyards @LuskinCenter
The 6th lecture in our Schoolyard Forest Design Lecture Series is TOMORROW. This session features research on how living schoolyards and schoolyard forests can help reduce extreme heat and increase thermal comfort, as well as design recommendations to keep students cool at school
Looking forward to having great conversations about Heat with this group of rockstars @berggruenInst organized by @bhar_venkat
grateful to be among heat scholars in LA, thinking thru heat health, thermal attunement, and our future on an unbearably hot planet. thanks to @berggruenInst @UclaHeatLab @bhar_venkat
NEW: We went to Kolkata, India, to document how heat waves hit the most underprivileged communities hardest. Complex architectural problems overlap with basic issues of space and resources — 9 people sleep in one room, and A/C would just blow hot air into neighboring homes
What's truly preventing climate action? It's not them, or me, or you: it’s much bigger than that. It's the companies who hold the balance of power & wealth in this world. As @MaryHeglar says so powerfully, (source: vox.com/the-highlight/…)
Extreme heat is a public health crisis, and our team is advancing science-backed solutions to protect people's health and wellbeing as global temperatures rise. This year, we advanced key work to respond to the dangerous health impacts of extreme heat. bit.ly/3uRVxHG

@UCLAHeatLab’s study on why and how food truck workers are exposed to extreme heat—and what we can do about it—featured on @NBCLA! So proud of the students in my lab! (Video at the link) @CEMO_EJ4LA @UCLA nbclosangeles.com/on-air/trackin…
