Heat and Health
Presented by: Dan Bedford, Heather Root and Aminda O’Hare, Weber State University
As global temperatures rise heat waves become more frequent, more intense, and longer lasting. As such, understanding how heat affects us and what we can do to mitigate high heat effects is becoming more and more important. In this presentation, we will share perspectives on heat and health from psychology, geography, and botany perspectives. The audience will leave with an understanding of the interacting factors that contribute to our experience of heat and some practical tips on dealing with heat.
