The heat is on! Major urban areas are hot and getting hotter!
Urban heat, caused by human activities, forms a “heat bubble” surrounding the city known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI), resulting in higher temperatures, impacting human health, power consumption air and water quality, and more.
Dr. Daniel Boice will present original research on San Antonio’s UHI over the past 7 decades. Dr. Farzad Hashemi, Assistant Professor of Architecture at University of Texas at San Antonio will discuss his novel methodology to create climate data specifically designed for urban environments to accurately reflect the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects.
