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 …

Surface warming in global cities is substantially more rapid than in rural background areas
Warming trends in cities are influenced both by large-scale climate processes and by local-
scale urbanization. However, little is known about how surface warming trends of global …
