March 6 Webinar – Columbus Urban Heat Island Study

A well-known environmental and human health risk is the effects of heat in cities, particularly areas where there are few trees but lots of parking lots, buildings, and pavement.  David Celebrezze of the City of Columbus will discuss the August 2022 project to collect data from Columbus neighborhoods and assess temperature differences.  He will also discuss potential steps cities and individuals can take to mitigate the effects of heat as the climate becomes warmer.
