Urban Heat Island Student Research Campaign

Update for October 2020

Even with the pandemic, participation the campaign has been good. Although the number of schools participating and the total number of observations was down from last year, it was still a nice number of each. So far this fall (Northern Hemisphere) spring (Southern Hemisphere) there have been over 3,500 observations from 135 sites (70 schools) across the world. Please see the list below. There are a number of schools in Saudi Arabia with over 100 observations. We also have observations from Brazil and an area of India where there are six new schools taking part in the urban heat island campaign. I’m glad to see observations from Malta (the islands of Malta and Gozo). My father-in-law is from Malta originally and moved to the US 65 years ago when he was a teenager.

I wanted to highlight Linda Schmalbeck and her students from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. Her students are remote and all over the state of North Carolina. They came together at a park on Saturday and then each took surface temperature observations near where they live.

Students and teachers should do as much as they are able given precautions in their area. The state of Michigan in the US just went to 100% online for all high school students. My son, who is a senior, was going two days a week and doing online the rest of the week. Now, he is 100% online for the next three weeks.
