Nathan Morris

Nathan Morris, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Human Physiology & Nutrition within the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. His work focuses on thermoregulation, heat stress, and physiological responses to extreme temperatures, particularly in occupational and athletic contexts.

• Research Interests: Thermoregulatory mechanisms, heat acclimation, heat-related health risks, cooling strategies, and climate change impacts on human performance.

Recent publications highlight trends in occupational heat strain, cooling interventions (e.g., menthol, electric fans), alcohol-heat interactions, and climate adaptation frameworks. His studies often address public health implications, such as heat alert management and sustainable solutions for outdoor workers.
