Qinqin Kong studies extreme heat and how it affects people, agriculture, and infrastructure around the world, using climate data and modeling to track how heat stress is changing over time. Their work includes building large public datasets of heat indices, analyzing health and economic risks from extreme heat events, and examining regional cases such as monsoon heat in India, ENSO-driven heat exposure, and heat impacts on solar panels and farming in Africa.
