- Extreme heat meets ‘Measurement Day’ as citizen scientists map weather in Northern Virginia
Citizen scientists in Northern Virginia are mapping extreme heat through the Urban Heat Island Mapping Project, led by Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions and George Mason University’s Virginia Climate Center. Teams used mobile weather stations, including sensors on vehicles, to collect data for urban planning, public health, and environmental equity. The data will be analyzed to create maps and visualizations, with a report expected in October.
