Climate Health & Resilience

Championed by CSAW Affiliate Faculty Fellow Dr. Daniel Gebregiorgis, the Climate Health & Resilience Project focuses on gaining a better understanding of challenges posed by extreme weather events such as urban heat stress and hurricanes to increase urban resilience to climate-related risks. In particular, the project will utilize existing weather monitoring stations in the metro Atlanta area and satellite data products to develop community led initiatives to raise awareness and promote adaptive coping and climate resilience practices. The project targets to address key research questions within the CSAW framework related to air pollution, climate change, and heat mapping.
