Disproportionate exposure to urban heat island intensity across major US cities
Urban heat stress poses a major risk to public health. Case studies of individual cities
suggest that heat exposure, like other environmental stressors, may be unequally distributed …

Magnitude of urban heat islands largely explained by climate and population
Urban heat islands (UHIs) exacerbate the risk of heat-related mortality associated with
global climate change. The intensity of UHIs varies with population size and mean annual …
