Widespread Race and Class Disparities in Surface Urban Heat Extremes Across the United States
Abstract Here we use remotely sensed land surface temperature measurements to explore the distribution of the United States’ urban heating burden, both at high resolution (within cities or counties) and at scale (across the whole contiguous United States). While a rich literature has documented neig...
