Heat Adaptation across Diverse Populations

Speakers: Nicole Vargas (Australian National University), James Smallcombe (University of Sydney), Jenni Vanos (ASU), Nicholas Ravanelli (National University of Singapore).

The complex nature of the impacts of extreme heat and associated human responses, both behavioral and physiological, demand convergence research that addresses a lack of standardized approaches available to study and translate effective heat adaptation strategies. The recently funded “Global Centers Track 2: Heat Adaptation” seeks to strengthen society’s ability to manage and adapt to extreme heat across countries, climates, and cultures. This presentation will provide an overview of ongoing research as part of the Global Center across multiple countries, as well as the fundamental understanding of thermal physiology and behavioral adaptations during extreme heat exposure across diverse populations. We will address research and cross-sectoral implementation gaps that must be filled to fully support adaptive capacity in the heat and thus reduce heat vulnerability.
