A Town-Gown Partnership Focused on Climate Resilience

As climate change spurs extreme heat waves and flooding in Georgia, Agnes Scott College and the city of Decatur are working together to forge solutions. “This isn’t something a city can do alone,” one official said. Since 2022, students from Agnes Scott College have helped place 36 heat sensors across their campus and surrounding Decatur, Ga., in an effort to help researchers analyze and mitigate the risks of extreme heat waves in the area.
