Applications of geospatial analysis techniques for public health
… the extent of the result’s bias. Extreme heat vulnerability analysis was studied to validate previously identified socioeconomic and environmental variables influential for mitigation studies, and how the variability of resolution impacts the results of the methodology. Heat was also …

Modeling Extreme Heat Risk in Urban Areas Using Computer Vision and Data Analysis
… health. Urban areas suffer the effects of urban heat islands, which exacerbate the temperature rise from extreme heat events because they have more paved surfaces, less vegetation, and more heat created from human activities. As a result, heat risk modeling aims to reduce heat risk for vulnerable …
