Heat and Health Research Centre
Reducing the health impacts of extreme heat and hot weather
We’re a multi-disciplinary team of researchers striving to understand the causative pathways of – and develop evidence-based solutions for – the health impacts of heat exposure across the human lifespan.
Our purpose is to build resilience to a warming planet across the human lifespan by undertaking research that understands the underlying mechanisms of heat vulnerability. We also aim to develope and implement evidence-based sustainable adaptive solutions to optimally manage the heat-health risk of people in our five priority research areas:
- Maternal and Child Health
- Physical Activity, Sport and Occupational Health
- Ageing and Chronic Diseases
- Landscapes and the Built Environment
- Humanitarian Settings
