Wildfire Smoke Exposure and Mortality Burden in the US Under Future Climate Change

March 2024
Minghao Qiu, Jessica Li, Carlos F. Gould, Renzhi Jing, Makoto Kelp, Marissa L. Childs, Jeff Wen, Yuanyu Xie, Meiyun Lin, Mathew V. Kiang, Sam Heft-Neal, Noah S. Diffenbaugh, Marshall Burke
EarthArXiv (preprint)
This study projects increased mortality in the U.S. due to exposure to PM2.5 from wildfire smoke under future climate change scenarios, and projects changes in smoke PM2.5 concentrations and their health impacts.Read More →

Exploring Spatial Heterogeneity in Synergistic Effects of Compound Climate Hazards: Extreme Heat and Wildfire Smoke on Cardiorespiratory Hospitalizations in California

February 2024
Chen Chen, Laura Schwarz, Noam Rosenthal, Miriam E. Marlier, Tarik Benmarhnia
Science Advances
In this peer-reviewed study, the authors used high-resolution satellite and monitoring data to quantify the way that compound exposures to extreme heat and wildfire smoke in California (2006–2019) varied between ZIP codes.Read More →

A physiological approach for assessing human survivability and liveability to heat in a changing climate

November 2023
Jennifer Vanos, Gisel Guzman-Echavarria, Jane W. Baldwin, Coen Bongers, Kristie L. Ebi, Ollie Jay
Nature Communications
This peer-reviewed study applies physiological and biophysical principles to improve current estimates of survivability and livability under current and future climates. The authors conclude that current methodologies vastly underestimate such risks.Read More →

The Lancet
This peer-reviewed annual report monitors the impacts of climate change on health, and publishes annual updates of over 40 health-related climate indicators. This year's report finds few signs of global progress on climate-related health issues.Read More →

Observational and model evidence together support wide-spread exposure to noncompensable heat under continued global warming

September 2023
Carter M. Powis, David Byrne, Zachary Zobel, Kelly N. Gassert, A.C. Lute, Christopher R. Schwalm
Science Advances
This peer-reviewed study performs a statistical extrapolation of temperature and humidity trends to calculate the annual likelihood of unsurvivable conditions (six hours of exposure to 35°C wet-bulb temperatures) in six different warming regimes.Read More →
