🎉 Great news Luke Parsons who approached me a couple months back has now made and released a version of the WBGT method I helped make as daily ERA5 data. You can get the data here: zenodo.org/record/8021197 #HeatHealth #Heat

🚨Just out today - Our new paper in AGU_GeoHealth on disproportionate heat exposure in socially vulnerable US communities and how warming is limiting safe fan use outside (like on a porch), particularly for older adults: doi.org/10.1029/2023GH…

Thanks to The Nature Conservancy Press Room for their summary of our AGU_GeoHealth article on safe fan use and disproportionate heat exposure in vulnerable U.S. communities: nature.org/en-us/newsroom… via The Nature Conservancy

[New AGU_GeoHealth] Parsons et al. Duke Environment examined where conditions unsafe for electric fan use overlapped with social vulnerability and found communities with ⬆️ vulnerability face rapid ⬆️ in temps unsafe for fan use Open access paper👉 doi.org/10.1029/2023GH…

In the past 2 decades, U.S. residents have experienced ~2 times as many hours when electric fan use is unsafe compared with 50–70 years ago. New AGU_GeoHealth research by Luke Parsons Duke Environment and colleagues. #AGUPubs eos.org/research-spotl…
