Did you know that one of the greatest challenges for the research community is integrating measurements of the impacts caused by climate change and understanding how they are reflected in the surfaces we walk on daily? For this reason, we invite you to explore when these conditions arise and how they are measured. Next, we will show you how sunlight interacts with the surfaces we walk on and how the intensity of sunlight would appear if we had thermographic vision. This will help us understand what happens to materials due to the heat levels on these surfaces. Together, we will gain insight into the impact of climate on our everyday environment.
