Durham must address the urban heat island effect and equity in its development ordinances

(05/05/23 4:00am)

As of August 2022, extreme heat was the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the US. High summer temperatures can trigger severe heat stress and exhaustion among other serious health issues. This phenomenon is called the “urban heat island effect” (UHI), and it occurs when land cover, vegetation and tree canopy — which cools surrounding areas by providing shade — are sparse compared to heat-absorbing surfaces such as cement and asphalt.

(05/01/23 4:00am)

I’ve stayed awake long enough to watch the sunrise three times as a Duke student. Twice, it was because I was pulling an all-nighter to finish a term paper. The third time was after myself and three of my best friends took until 6:16 a.m. to finish editing The Chronicle’s annual men’s basketball supplement. And it was the most beautiful sunrise I’ve ever seen.

No. 16 Duke baseball grabs third-straight ranked series win with weekend triumph at No. 11 Virginia

(05/01/23 1:06am)

On Feb. 28 when Duke took down then-No. 20 Eastern Carolina 9-0, it was a shock to many who predicted the Blue Devils to finish near the bottom of the ACC. However, head coach Chris Pollard said it was a sign that “we can play with anybody in the country.” Now, with its third-straight ranked series win, this time against No. 11 Virginia, No. 16 Duke has established itself as not just capable, but ready to compete for an ACC title.
