New paper on urban heat disparities in Nature Communications

Our paper Contemporary income inequality outweighs historic redlining in shaping intra-urban heat disparities in Los Angeles is now published in Nature Communications.

Led by postdoc Anamika Shreevastava, this study reveals that present-day income inequality is a stronger predictor of intra-urban heat disparities in Los Angeles than historical redlining. The findings underscore the need for climate adaptation policies that address current socioeconomic inequities, not just historical ones.

Also wonderful news that Anamika will be joining NYU Tandon Engineering School as Assistant Professor in Fall 2025!
