Argonne National Laboratory's heat-tracking project to expand to Woodlawn
CHICAGO -- At the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Lab campus in Lemont, special equipment tracks rising temperatures and climate change across the Chicago area—and how extreme heat is felt differently throughout the city.The South Side's Woodlawn neighborhood will soon be the next to receive the heat-tracking instruments once they're tested on the Argonne campus.'This is a first-of-its-kind, crucial first step,' said Argonne atmospheric scientist Scott Collis.
' Last summer, CBS News Chicago joined the CROCUS team in Humboldt Park, where this project first started. The neighborhood is considered a heat island. The work in Humboldt Park continues, while expanding to other parts of the city. 'We can put these into our computer systems, and we can make data-driven solutions,' said Collis.Such solutions include increased green spaces, added trees, green or even just white roofs, changes in construction, and more solar panels—among others.
