New paper on Wet Bulb Globe Temperature gaps - only 40% of studies include results for the female sex, with 9% only on females. Safety thresholds show differences for age, clothing, climate and sex and the ISO should be updated. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Die Senkung der Kindersterblichkeit bis 2030 ist ein nachhaltiges Entwicklungsziel der Vereinten Nationen. Von tausend lebend geborenen Kindern sollen nur mehr maximal 25 das Alter von fünf Jahren nic...
"Von allen extremen Wetterereignissen, die sich aufgrund des Klimawandels verstärken, sind Hitzewellen die tödlichsten", so @chlobrim.bsky.socialon.orf.at/video/142339...
Die Tendenz zu Extremtemperaturen ist oft schon drei bis vier Wochen im Voraus vorhersagbar. Grazer Forscher plädieren daher für ein globales Hitzewarnsystem und formulieren Ideen zur Umsetzung.
Been enjoying the #EUClimateandHealth conference today and yesterday. I was interesting to learn amongst other things, I was one of the only climate scientists here. Great to display our latest work and catch up with others in the field.
New Publication: A scoping review on heat indices used to measure the effects of heat on maternal and perinatal health🥵🤰👶 bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/2/1/...@wegenercenter.bsky.social
2023 from my PhD awarded to writing retreats to meetings to conferences to RMetS opportunities to news media to the gift that is broccoli w/ fab people. Excited to try and grow my research more in 2024 and continue the conversation about heatwaves and ClimateChange + health.
Heat: The silent killer stalking Australia's summer (what a great headline, from yesterday). We know a lot about inequities and aspects like remoteness and heat in Australia thanks to some really great researchers. Lots to take on board here. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-a...#scicomm
Extreme heat is the nation's deadliest natural hazard, but its impacts aren't being felt equally.
