About Liz Hamilton
In 2021, during the Pacific Northwest heat dome, when Portland hit 116°F and emergency morgues overflowed, Liz Hamilton live-streamed from a sun-baked rooftop in Gresham, Oregon, using infrared thermal imagery to show how neighborhood tree canopy density correlated with 12, 18°F surface temperature differences. That broadcast went viral not for its drama but for its actionable clarity: she mapped vulnerable census tracts alongside municipal shade equity plans, then co-designed a low-cost urban albedo toolkit adopted by six West Coast cities. Her work bridges hyperlocal observation and planetary systems thinking, she tracks soil moisture via backyard rain gauge networks while advising NOAA on stratospheric aerosol interaction modeling. She doesn’t speak in projections; she speaks in thresholds, the 1.5°C tipping point for Cascadia’s snowpack, the 35°C wet-bulb limit for outdoor labor safety, the exact humidity curve where wildfire smoke becomes respirable hazard. Her voice is calibrated to both city council chambers and community garden plots.
