So great to see new fleet is already paying dividends in better air! The old Caltrain story continues this time in Peru hopefully taking some cars off the streets! www.tiktok.com/@sfgate.com/...

Thanks Jesse!

Finally, clubs' most recent regular season temperature exposure seems to slightly influence winning chances.

Weak evidence of non linear effect of temperature on goals with a peak at 25°C (77°F)

Games were played in several cities around the US. The game-time temperature ranged from 15°C (59°F) to 37°C (98.6°F).

The evidence isn’t strong or conclusive, but it does hint at a potential effect of temperature on performance and results. mustafahzahid.netlify.app/post/club_wo...

The competition also coincided with high summer temps hitting parts of the US. I dug into the data to see if temp played a role in results. Specifically, whether temp during games influenced performance, or if clubs’ baseline climate exposure in their hometowns affected their chances of winning.

The projects are related to estimating the contribution of desert dust to air pollution globally, its impacts, and the effectiveness of mitigation policies in reducing exposure. Students will also have the chance to work on projects on air pollution causes/efx and nature-based solutions co-benefits.
