We believe that everyone can participate in heat science.

Who We Are

The Center for Collaborative Heat Monitoring is based at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, North Carolina. The CCHM is a unique national partnership of science museums and technical experts, including the Museum of Science (Boston), the Arizona Science Center, CAPA Strategies, AQUEHS Corp, the North Carolina State Climate Office and Utah State University.

What We Do

The CCHM works directly with communities to co-create a heat data collection project tailored to community priorities.

The members of the CCHM have been doing this kind of work for years. CCHM member CAPA Strategies previously worked with NOAA and NIHHIS to map urban heat islands in over 80 U.S. and international communities.
