    This document provides the program for a half-day workshop on coping with heat in birds and humans. The workshop will be held on May 14, 2013 at Deakin University in Melbourne and will consist of presentations on physiological and morphological adaptations to heat in birds and mammals, as well as the effects of extreme heat on bird breeding success and modeling heat and water balances. The second half of the workshop will focus on urban climate programs and the spatial vulnerability of urban populations to extreme heat. The workshop aims to foster discussion and potential collaborations between presenters.
