Recess and Heat in AZ Schools
Join our team from ASU’s College of Health Solutions, School of Sustainability, and Design School to support elementary schools to make informed decisions about recess in times of high heat. Our goals are to learn about what matters most to school administrators when it comes to recess and heat, gather information about students’ movement and environmental conditions on schoolyards during recess when it’s hot, and co-develop guidance to support schools to offer recess during times of high heat. Results will be shared with schools and our partners at the Arizona Department of Health Services to improve decision-making and inform guidelines.

NSF Global Center for Heat Adaptation
The Global Center for Heat Adaptation is a new NSF-funded grant based at Arizona State University that includes a transdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners from multiple cities across the Americas and Australia (Phoenix, Montréal, Sydney, Colombia). The team’s vision is to strengthen society’s ability to manage and adapt to extreme heat across countries, climates, and cultures, as well as train the next generation of global researchers and practitioners using thoughtful and innovative approaches.
