Stanford scientists on extreme heat and adaptation

Stanford researchers are working to help cities adapt to extreme weather and keep people and buildings cool during severe heat waves. Promising solutions involve reflective rooftops, better use of natural ventilation, green urban corridors, rethinking how governments assess overlapping hazards, and more. Experts Noah Diffenbaugh, John Openshaw, Gabrielle Wong-Parodi, and Jack Baker discuss the future of climate-driven extremes and the opportunity for cities to adapt.
