You can’t cool what you can’t see. Every building you trace helps researchers, city planners, and local communities better understand where heat risk is highest — and where solutions are needed most.
Join us for an afternoon of humanitarian mapping for Citizen Science Month!
Open to all!
Extreme heat is now the deadliest weather-related hazard worldwide — yet its impacts are often invisible. In rapidly growing cities like Quezon City, Philippines or Campo Grande, Brazil, or Phoenix, Arizona, dense development, concrete surfaces, and limited green space amplify dangerous temperatures for vulnerable people.
