Ashley Agatep, an environmental policy and science student who participated in our course in fall 2023, has generated a visualization of ECOSTRESS data that is now featured among the "best science images" for the month of July by Nature Magazine. Agatep spent the summer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, where she created the image as part of her internship.

Agatep mapped scorching pavement in Phoenix where contact with skin - from a fall, for example - can cause serious burns. The image shows land surface temperatures across a grid of roads and adjacent sidewalks, revealing how urban spaces can turn hazardous during hot weather.
