Ladd Keith, Ph.D.

I’m an interdisciplinary scientist and Director of the Heat Resilience Initiative at the University of Arizona. I work with governments to address the impacts of climate change and protect communities in our overheating world. Right now, that means working with policymakers to create the playbook on how we plan for and govern extreme heat.
