A physiological approach for assessing human survivability and liveability to heat in a changing climate
J. Vanos, G. Guzman-echavarria, et al.
This groundbreaking research reveals that traditional estimates of human survivability under extreme heat significantly underestimate risks, especially for older adults. Conducted by a team including Jennifer Vanos and Kristie L. Ebi, the study explores how our physiology influences liveability amidst climate change, uncovering critical insights for improving safety in rising temperatures.
