Abstract

This study is a reproduction of: Tuholske, C., Lynch, V.D., Spriggs, R. et al. Hazardous heat exposure among incarcerated people in the United States. Nat Sustain 7, 394–398 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-024-01293-y Git Repository

By reproducing the exploratory data analysis done in Tuholske et al. (2024), we seek to… 1. Identify the temporal resolution at which authors use population data to calculate population weighted hazardous heat days 2. Understand the population weighting mechanism in state-level hazardous heat calculations. 3. Evaluate the effectiveness of the author’s methods compared to similar research.
