- 요약Extreme heat is increasingly a threat to human health as climate change makes high temperatures and other extreme weather events more frequent and intense. As risks mount and severe heat waves cause illness and death, well-informed and decisive action is critical to preserve human health and wellbeing. However, there are significant knowledge gaps to overcome between climate adaptation theory and practice. There is a need for more knowledge sharing and collaboration between scientists, designers, and decision makers in climate planning. To address these gaps, the work in this dissertation is interdisciplinary and utilizes mixed methods including interviews, public media analysis, statistical analyses of quantitative variables over time and across space. I ask: how is heat currently impacting people in Wisconsin, and what can we do about it? In my first chapter, I study differential exposure to heat around Madison utilizing an in-situ temperature and humidity sensor network. I investigate how feels-like temperatures diverge from temperatures themselves, with health implications for vegetated rural areas. In my second chapter, I analyze health outcomes from the heat in Wisconsin as measured by heat-related illness ambulance callouts, looking into meteorological and sociodemographic characteristics associated with elevated risk. In my third and final chapter, I conduct interviews with people whose work interfaces with heat to understand what contributes to vulnerability to heat, what is currently being done to increase heat resilience, and what kinds of actions people want to see going forward. Overall, I find that rural areas are more vulnerable to heat that might be assumed, both through underestimated feels-like temperatures and disproportionate negative health outcomes. I also find that a multitude of interconnected issues outside of heat itself that contribute to the problem, which suggests that many different kinds of action can in turn help.
