Journal ArticleDOI
Neighborhood microclimates and vulnerability to heat stress
TL;DR: Examination of heat-related health inequalities within one city in Phoenix, USA found people in warmer neighborhoods were more vulnerable to heat exposure because they had fewer social and material resources to cope with extreme heat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional relationships between surface temperature, vegetation, and human settlement in a rapidly urbanizing ecosystem
G. Darrel Jenerette,G. Darrel Jenerette,G. Darrel Jenerette,Sharon L. Harlan,Anthony J. Brazel,Nancy S. Jones,Larissa Larsen,William L. Stefanov +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the relationship between surface temperature, one component of regional climate, vegetation, and human settlement patterns in the Phoenix, AZ, USA region and found substantial surface temperature differences within the city that correlate primarily with an index of vegetation cover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bonding and Bridging: Understanding the Relationship between Social Capital and Civic Action
Larissa Larsen,Sharon L. Harlan,Bob Bolin,Edward J. Hackett,Diane Hope,Andrew Kirby,Amy L. Nelson,Tom R. Rex,Shaphard Wolf +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between social connections and collective civic action and found that individuals with strong social bonding (i.e., association and trust among neighbors) are more likely to take civic action.
Journal ArticleDOI
How factors of land use/land cover, building configuration, and adjacent heat sources and sinks explain Urban Heat Islands in Chicago
Paul Coseo,Larissa Larsen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected air temperature measurements within an urban block in each neighborhood during the summer of 2010 and found that the urban block's percentages of impervious surface and tree canopy explained 91% of the variation in air temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Desert dreamscapes: Residential landscape preference and behavior
Larissa Larsen,Sharon L. Harlan +1 more
TL;DR: Kirby et al. as discussed by the authors used a multinomial logistic regression model to predict front-yard landscape preference with the independent variables income, length of residence in the Phoenix area, degree of environmental concern and engagement in desert recreational activities.
