共著論文がでました！猛暑の健康影響について指標化する際に、湿度を考慮すべきかどうかが地域によって異なることを、世界的に調べて定量的に示しました。 academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/adva…

New @MCCstudy on humid heat and mortality in 739 cities shows differences on performance of heat stress indicators vs air temperature alone across the globe. Insights canimprove heat-health alerts and protect vulnerable. Read: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti… #ClimateChange #PublicHealth

📣New research from the #EHMLab London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine assessed the links between heat-related mortality & heat stress indicators (including humidity) in cities around the world, providing new insights for regions where humans are vulnerable to humid heat💧🌡️ Read more👉bit.ly/3R3LiZY

[プレスリリース] 暑熱関連死亡リスクにおける湿度の影響の地域差――日本では蒸し暑さが死亡リスクに大きな影響を与える傾向がある―――医学系研究科・医学部 u-tokyo.ac.jp/focus/ja/press…

熱中症で死亡する危険性を適切に示す指標は何? t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/press/pr2024-0… 工学系研究科長賞に輝き、今は医学系研究科で博士研究員をしているGUO Qiang博士を筆頭著者とする論文がPNAS Nexusで公開。 academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti… 日本で公式に用いられている暑さ指数(湿球黒球温度)は果たして適切なのか?!

#ClimateChange measurabley impacts society, including on human mortality. However, current models to assess #health impacts of climate change do not account for every environmental parameter, especially humidity. #UTokyoResearch seeks to change this. u-tokyo.ac.jp/focus/en/press…

Very insightful point! We need to think more and test more how to properly quantify the real heat stress felt by different groups of people.

One score higher than the line in JLPT N2, passed by a narrow margin 😅 #JLPT

It's a great honor that our study can be introduced by Nikkei (日本経済新聞). I'm thrilled to see that the series of our findings can be used to call on the public's awareness of humid heat stress and to potentially improve the heat alert system

We warmly welcome colleagues to join us in the AOGS meeting @ Singapore in the end of July! Please consider submitting an abstract to our session focused on #LargeScaleRiverModeling! with Dai YAMAZAKI / 山崎 大 @fitsumwoldemeskei Xudong Zhou

In this new paper in AGU_GeoHealth, we recommend that heat stress indicators (HSIs) be rigorously evaluated with local health data before being used in heat warning systems. For high-accuracy predictions, raw meteorological variables could be prioritized.agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

In their new study, Guo et al. evaluate the ability of various heat stress indicators (HSIs) to predict heat stroke cases across #Japan, focusing on emergency ambulance dispatches in 47 prefectures. Learn more: doi.org/10.1029/2024GH… #AGUPubs #HeatStress Wiley Earth and Space Science

Climate warming is a major driver to exacerbate heat-related health risks. However, this study shows that rapid aging also greatly increases population's vulnerability to heat. In Japan, aging’s impact is already as significant as that of climate change. doi.org/10.1016/j.envi…

I attended the Japan Geoscience Union Meeting (JpGU 2025) for the first time. It was just a 50-minute train ride from my home—making it the closest international conference I've ever participated in 😄
