About

Iulia Marginean is a researcher in the Climate Impacts Group.

She is a PhD candidate, focusing on the negative effects of climate change on human health. Her PhD is linked to the EmCliC project - Embodying Climate Change: Transdiciplinary Research on Urban Overheating - at CICERO, being carried out through the Meteorology and Oceanography Section at the University of Oslo. Iulia graduated from an Erasmus Mundus programme in environmental engineering and management (MSc. Joint European Master in Environmental Studies). She is interested in the synergies between climate science and other disciplines, such as epidemiology and demography. Her work relies on high-resolution climate modeling and the analysis of health and demographic data for local climate risk assessments.

New tool provides knowledge on heat stress vulnerability in cities for more targeted adaptation

Published 9.10.2024

Heat-related deaths and diseases are a major concern in Europe amid increasing extended periods of extreme heat. This study proposes a novel way of quantifying and projecting future vulnerability to heat stress in different areas of a city, providing local decision-makers with knowledge for designing more effective adaptation strategies to minimize health impacts of heat stress.
