Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore groundbreaking research on urban heat islands presented at the AGU 2010 Fall Meeting Press Conference. Delve into satellite data-based findings that reveal how these temperature anomalies vary across cities, pose threats to public health, and potentially exacerbate heat waves through increased air conditioning usage. Learn from expert researchers as they discuss the impact of replacing open land and vegetation with urban infrastructure, resulting in temperature increases of up to 11° Celsius in some areas. Gain valuable insights from NASA, University of Hawaii, and Météo-France scientists on this critical environmental phenomenon affecting urban areas worldwide.
