Arizona State University: Fireside Chat with David Sailor – Data Centers and Urban Heat

Data centers are a growing part of Arizona’s economy and infrastructure, and researchers are working to understand their full range of effects on the areas around them, from local temperatures to broader impacts on the surrounding environment and ecosystems. Join us online for a fireside chat exploring what current research shows about the relationship between data centers and heat in the surrounding area.

The session opens with a short presentation from David Sailor, sharing findings from his team’s field research measuring temperature patterns around data centers. Kelly Barr will then join him for a conversation exploring what this research means for Arizona’s communities. The event is open to Q&A, giving attendees a chance to ask questions directly at any time.
