It advocates for... Read More about Heatwaves: Causes, Consequences and Responses.

Public Health Preparedness for Extreme Heat Events (2023)
Journal Article
Hess, J., Errett, N., McGregor, G., Isaksen, T., Wettstein, Z., Wheat, S., & Ebi, K. (2023). Public Health Preparedness for Extreme Heat Events. Annual Review of Public Health, 44, 301-321. https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-publhealth-071421-025508

Heat is a dangerous hazard that causes acute heat illness, chronic disease exacerbations, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and a range of injuries. Risks are highest during extreme heat events (EHEs), which challenge the capacity of health systems and oth... Read More about Public Health Preparedness for Extreme Heat Events.

Climate Change, Grape Phenology and Frost Risk in Southeast England (2022)
Journal Article
Llanaj, C., & McGregor, G. (2022). Climate Change, Grape Phenology and Frost Risk in Southeast England. Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, 2022, Article 9835317. https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/9835317

Background and Aims: Cultivation of grapevines in England is expected to benefit under climate change. Yet assessments of future wine-climates remain undeveloped. Accordingly, this study assesses how climate change might modify frost risk for Chardon... Read More about Climate Change, Grape Phenology and Frost Risk in Southeast England.
