Modulation of Climate Risks by Intensification of Urban and Agricultural Land Uses in the Arabian Peninsula
ENABLING HARM REDUCTION FROM EXTREME HEAT IN A WARMING CLIMATE
- The Arabian Peninsula already suffers from the most extreme heat on the planet.
- Climate Chance and Land-Cover and Land-Use Change are amplifying extreme heat across the Arabian Peninsula, impacting human health.
- Fusing remote-sensed LCLUC and climate data with weather models can improve extreme heat forecasting and climate projections.
- NASA’s Earth Observation platforms can enable the operationalization of monitoring and forecasting of extreme heat and guide adaptations to reduce harm to improve health.
