The heat summit informed the development to the City of Tucson's newly adopted Heat Action Roadmap and formation of the Joint Heat Action Team. climateaction.tucson...
This Heat Action Roadmap is the next step in the implementation of Tucson Resilient Together, the City of Tucson’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.
We discuss the Southern Arizona Heat Summit where over 110 representatives from grassroots, non-profit, government, private sector, labor unions, utilities, and academic organizations convened and coproduced a list of gaps and opportunities to improve community heat resilience.

Campaigns in Arizona and Nevada have been getting out the vote despite temperatures of 110F, with some canvassers wearing ice vests and neck fans to cool down.
New interview with @NPR.org's On Point: "Whether we declare it as a disaster or not, extreme heat is a disaster, right? ... the federal government has gone a long way to increase its ability to respond to extreme heat, but we still have quite a long way to go." www.wbur.org/onpoint...#extremeheat
Phoenix, Arizona has crossed a troubling milestone. More than one hundred days of temperatures over 100 degrees. Across the country, extreme heat kills more Americans than hurricanes, floods and tornadoes combined. So why don’t we label is a disaster?
This seems the clear end state to me: pressure to publish and too few reviewers means AI (in all fields, soon) will write papers that will only be reviewed by AI bots that, in turn, will only be read by AI bots. If no actual person writes something then why should actual people read it?
NEW: I wrote about a problem that's plaguing the artificial intelligence field: AI research is clearly being peer-reviewed by AI chatbots, no one really knows what to do about it ... ... and unfortunately, AI scientists have only themselves to blame. www.chronicle.com/article/ai-s...
ChatGPT is wreaking chaos in the field that birthed it.
Kicking off the new semester with my amazing @uarizona.bsky.social heat resilience team (Postdocs: Min Woo Ahn, Malini Roy, Anne-Lise Boyer & program coordinator: Kirsten Lake) at our soon to be new space with the Udall Center! More exciting news coming soon.
Emerging heat governance systems should integrate disciplines and sectors to holistically and equitably mitigate and manage heat through goals, data, action, evaluation, and public participation across different governance instruments and jurisdictional scales.
