Florian A. Schneider is a Ph.D. candidate at Arizona State University’s School of Sustainability. He completed a Master degree at Leipzig University studying Arctic climate feedbacks and published his master thesis in 2020. Schneider’s research on climate change transitioned to researching urban overheating and heat mitigation. His research focus is on sustainable and equitable heat mitigation as well as communication and co-creation of usable science between academics, city officials, and the general public in the context of urban heat. Schneider’s long-term goal is to advance the creation and application of usable, policy-relevant knowledge in a transdisciplinary co-production process.
