Regional Heat Vulnerability Map and Cooling Solutions: A webtool of the Healthy Urban Environments Initiative
## Regional Heat Vulnerability Map and Cooling Solutions The regional heat vulnerability map and cooling solutions webtool offers two data sources for equitable heat mitigation. The dashboard layers vulnerability data onto land surface temperature regional rankings to identify areas with high and low heat exposure and vulnerability as well as the existing assets in each census block group. Additional layers can be added into the heat vulnerability map to highlight how heat affects critical infrastructures including schools, mobile home parks, parking lots, public transportation stops, pedestrian thoroughfares, and bikeways. The solutions tab showcases a variety of heat mitigation solutions and the research behind them. Heat-related solutions and resources from urban Maricopa County are included, including solutions funded through the Healthy Urban Environment Initiative. The data catalogued here are the underlying data that populate the webtool. ## Healthy Urban Environment (HUE) Initiative - Overview HUE is a solutions-focused research, policy and technology incubator to create healthier communities across Maricopa County (central Arizona, USA) through collaboration between researchers, practitioners and community members. As such, HUE funded rapid development, testing and deployment of heat-mitigation and air-quality improvement strategies and technologies. Heat emerged as the urgent focus, as urban centers across the desert Southwest continue to grow in size and density, aggravating existing challenges posed by the expansion of the built environment. In Phoenix, AZ, this expansion of the built environment creates conditions which magnify the intensity and duration of heat – making it difficult for residents to achieve thermal comfort throughout the day and night. Further, the legacies of urban sprawl and transportation planning in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area have contributed to challenges with atmospheric pollutants. Importantly, urban heat and air qua
Social and Heat Vulnerability Indices in Phoenix, Arizona
Vulnerability indices and maps are commonly employed by researchers and practitioners to assess hazard risk by combining variables that are theoretically or empirically associated with hazard outcomes and spatially visualizing those combined variables. For this dataset, we followed established methods to produce two vulnerability indices for 358 census tracts in the City of Phoenix, Arizona for the year 2016: the all-hazards Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) and a specific hazards Heat Vulnerability Index (HVI). For SoVI, we compiled 27 social variables from the 2012-2016 American Community Survey (ACS); for HVI, we compiled seven social variables from the 2012-2016 ACS, one variable regarding residential air conditioning prevalence from the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office, and two variables related to vegetation density from Landsat 8 remote sensing imagery. Lastly, we conducted principal components analysis on each of the indices respective variables and then summed the resulting component scores for each census tract to produce the index values which we then spatially joined to the Phoenix census tracts.

Data for: Temperate and tropical lizards are vulnerable to climate warming due to increased water loss and heat stress
<p><span>Climate warming has imposed profound impacts on species globally. Understanding the vulnerabilities of species from different latitudinal regions to warming climates is critical for biological conservation. </span><span>Using five species of <em>Takydromus </em>lizards as a study system, we quantified physiological and life-history responses and geography range change across latitudes under climate warming. Using integrated biophysical models and hybrid species distribution models, w</span><span>e found: (1) thermal safety margin is larger at high latitudes, and is predicted to decrease under climate warming for lizards at all latitudes; (2) climate warming will speed up embryonic development and increase annual activity time of adult lizards, but will exacerbate water loss of adults across all latitudes; and (3) species across latitudes are predicted to experience habitat contraction under climate warming due to different limitations: tropical and subtropical species are vulnerable due to increased extremely high temperatures, whereas temperate species are vulnerable due to both extremely high temperatures and increased water loss. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the vulnerability of species from different latitudinal regions to climate warming in ectotherms and also highlights the importance of integrating environmental factors, behavior, physiology, and life-history responses in predicting the risk of species to climate warming.</span></p>
Data from: Heat tolerance variation reveals vulnerability of tropical herbivore-parasitoid interactions to climate change
<p>Assessing the heat tolerance (CTmax) of organisms is central to understand the impact of climate change on biodiversity. While both environment and evolutionary history affect CTmax, it is unclear how these factors and their interplay influence ecological interactions, communities, and ecosystems under climate change. We collected and reared caterpillars and parasitoids from canopy and ground layers in different seasons in a tropical rainforest. We tested the CTmax and Thermal Safety Margins (TSM) of these food webs with implications for how species interactions could shift under climate change. We identified strong influence of phylogeny in herbivore-parasitoid community heat tolerance. The TSM of all insects were narrower in the canopy and parasitoids had lower heat tolerance compared to their hosts. Our CTmax-based simulation showed higher herbivore-parasitoid food web instability under climate change than previously assumed, highlighting the vulnerability of parasitoids and related herbivore control in tropical rainforests, particularly in the forest canopy.</p>
Heat tolerance limits of Mediterranean songbirds and their current and future vulnerabilities to temperature extremes
<p>Songbirds are one of the groups most vulnerable to extreme heat events. Although several recent studies have assessed their physiological responses to heat, most of them have focused on arid-zone species solely. We investigated thermoregulatory responses to heat in eight small-sized songbirds occurring in the Mediterranean Basin, where heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense. Specifically, we determined their heat tolerance limits (HTL) and evaporative cooling efficiency and evaluated their current and future vulnerabilities to heat in southwestern Iberia, a Mediterranean climate warming hotspot. To do this, we exposed birds to an increasing profile of air temperatures (Ta) and measured resting metabolic rate (RMR), evaporative water loss (EWL), evaporative cooling efficiency (the ratio between evaporative heat loss and metabolic heat production) and body temperature (Tb). HTL ranged between 40 and 46°C across species, and all species showed rapid increases in RMR, EWL and Tb in response to increasing Ta. However, only the crested lark Galerida cristata achieved an evaporative cooling efficiency greater than 1. The studied songbirds currently experience summer Ta maxima that surpass their upper critical temperatures of their thermoneutral zone and even their HTL. Our estimates indicated that five of the eight species will experience moderate risk of lethal dehydration by the end of the century. We argue that the limited heat tolerance and evaporative cooling efficiency of small-sized Mediterranean songbirds make them particularly vulnerable to heatwaves, which will be exacerbated under future climate change scenarios.</p>

Heat Death Associations with the built environment, social vulnerability and their interactions with rising temperature
The occurrence of extreme heat events in the American Southwest are expected to become more frequent and severe and it is more important to understand which neighborhoods and populations are at risk of negative heat-health outcomes. Vulnerability to heat is a function of its heat exposure, population characteristics, and adaptive capacity. This study focuses on underlying socioeconomic and demographic characteristics that contribute to this vulnerability. The contributions of these factors to heat mortality in Maricopa County, AZ were explored and used to identify areas where vulnerable populations exist.
