Fulton Schools researchers teamed with colleagues at the University of Washington and University of Texas at Austin for an extensive study of the impacts of extreme heat on human activity and mobility. The study makes a case for an urgent need to develop public policy to formulate strategies and guide actions needed to deal with rising temperatures and more frequent heat waves. The report is based on research led by Ram Pendyala, director of the School of School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools. The team includes two of the school’s professors, Mikhail Chester and Steven Polzin, research assistant professor Irfan Batur and doctoral student Victor O. Alhassan.
