On August 7, 2020, roughly 80 community scientists in Houston and Harris County took to the streets with specially-designed thermal sensors attached to their cars or bicycles. They embarked on a 300-square-mile effort to measure and map urban heat in the region.
This community science endeavor is led by the Houston Harris Heat Action Team (H3AT), a collaboration between Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC), the City of Houston, and Harris County Public Health (HCPH), and The Nature Conservancy in Texas.
