Ladd Keith, an associate professor in the School of Planning and Landscape Architecture, leads the University of Arizona's involvement in a national project to better understand how extreme heat affects communities. As part of the project, called the Southwest Urban Corridor Integrated Field Laboratory, a crew from the Brookhaven National Laboratory collected neighborhood-level heat data in Arizona's urban areas. In the next few months and years, Keith and his colleagues will translate the data into better information the government and public can use to stay resilient to heat.
