OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Dec. 9 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a first-ever urban heat wave simulation that takes into account the compounding effects from building infrastructure. The method provides a more accurate picture of the impacts from excessive heat on at-risk populations, which can guide local planners seeking mitigation s . . .
