Cities trap a lot of heat, causing a phenomenon known as the heat island effect. Learn about heat islands, their impacts on cities, and how you can help us learn more about heat islands in the Raleigh-Durham area this summer as we take part in the 2021 NIHHIS–CAPA Heat Watch Campaign.
Live Virtual Presentation hosted by N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff.
