  • Developing a healthy environment assessment tool (HEAT) to address heat-health vulnerability in South African towns in a warming world 
    Wright, Caradee Yael; Mathee, Angela; Goldstone, Cheryl; Naidoo, Natasha; Kapwata, Thandi; Wernecke, Bianca; Kunene, Zamantimande;; Millar, Danielle (MDPI, 2023-02)
    Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause heat-related illnesses and accelerate death, especially in the elderly. We developed a locally-appropriate Healthy Environment Assessment Tool, or ‘HEAT’ tool, to assess ...
  • Extreme heat events, high ambient temperatures and human morbidity and mortality in Africa : a systematic review 
    Manyuchi, Albert E.; Chersich, Matthew F.; Vogel, Coleen; Wright, Caradee Yael; Matsika, Ruwadzano; Erasmus, Barend Frederik Nel (Academy of Science of South Africa, 2022-11)
    Temperature extremes vary across Africa. A continent-wide examination of the impacts of heat on health in Africa, and a synthesis of Africa-informed evidence is, however, lacking. A systematic review of articles published ...
  • Heatwave variability and structure in South Africa during summer drought 
    Mbokodo, Innocent L.; Bopape, Mary-Jane M.; Ndarana, Thando; Mbatha, Sifiso M.S.; Muofhe, Tshimbiluni P.; Singo, Mukovhe V.; Xulu, Nkosinathi G.; Mohomi, Tumelo; Ayisi, Kingsley K.; Chikoore, Hector (MDPI, 2023-02-05)
