Heterogeneity in individually experienced temperatures (IETs) within an urban neighborhood: insights from a new approach to measuring heat exposure

TL;DR: The IET data collected for this sample and study period suggest that heterogeneity in individual heat exposure exists within this neighborhood and that outdoor temperatures misrepresent the mean experienced temperatures during a heat wave period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hot playgrounds and children's health: A multiscale analysis of surface temperatures in Arizona, USA

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide novel quantification and advanced measurements of surface temperatures (Ts) in playgrounds, employing multiple scales of data, and provide insight into hot-hazard mitigation techniques and designs for improved environmental and public health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urban socioeconomic inequality and biodiversity often converge, but not always: a global meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the conditions linked to varying types of relationships between SES and biodiversity were examined and a meta-analysis highlighted the contributions of residential and municipal decisions in differentially promoting biodiversity along socioeconomic lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Technology Use, Exposure to Natural Hazards, and Being Digitally Invisible: Implications for Policy Analytics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the digitally invisible through an exploratory study of homeless individuals in Phoenix, Arizona, in the context of extreme heat exposure, and find that homeless individuals and university students interact differently with the physical environment, experiencing substantial differences in individual temperatures relative to outdoor conditions, potentially leading to differentiated health risks and outcomes.
