▼a In addition to rising temperatures, atmospheric humidity has been observed to increase in recent decades and models project this trend to continue. As a result, joint heat-humidity metrics indicating heat stress are likely to rapidly increase in |

▼a The projected changes in extreme temperatures will have a variety of impacts on infrastructure and other human systems. This dissertation explores how more frequent and severe hot conditions will impact aircraft takeoff performance by reducing a |

▼a Finally, this dissertation discusses evidence-based adaptation strategies to reduce the impacts of extreme heat in urban areas. It reviews a body of literature showing that effective strategies exist to both lower urban temperatures on a large s |
