Climate Change and Schools: Environmental Hazards and Resiliency

The changing climate is creating additional challenges in maintaining a healthy school environment in the United States (U.S.) where over 50 million people, mostly children, spend approximately a third of their waking hours. Chronic low prioritization of funds and resources to support environmental health in schools and lack of clear regulatory oversight in the U.S. undergird the new risks from...

Cyber - Infrastructure for Climate - Change Research Sudarshan

The amount of data available to climate-change researchers has grown rapidly in the past few years, and the trend is likely to continue. This growth of data has two components: First, advances in data collection and storage technologies permit us to generate data faster (e.g., from sources such as ice cores). Second, advances in the Web and related technologies permit us to easily access data p...

Architecting Climate Change Data Infrastructure for Nevada

The NSF EPSCoR-funded Nevada Climate Change Project seeks to create a central, reusable, extensible infrastructure that can be used to collect geospatial climate data and information. Housing climate data for Nevada and its surrounding regions during the initial construction phases, the newly created system (with its central component: the Nevada Climate Change Portal) will ultimately be capabl...

Assessment of awareness regarding climate change and its health hazards among the medical students

BACKGROUND Climate change has emerged as one of the most devastating environmental threat and there is overwhelming evidence of wide range of implications for human health. To mitigate this, well-prepared medical man power is required. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the awareness regarding climate change and its health hazards among the medical students and (2) to ...
