Estimation and uncertainty analysis of impacts of future heat waves on mortality in the eastern United States

Climate change is anticipated to influence heat-related mortality in the future. However, estimates of excess mortality attributable to future heat waves are subject to large uncertainties and have not been projected under the latest greenhouse gas emission scenarios. We estimated future heat wave m...
