Theme: Climate change and human health
Pollen-associated health effects in a changing climate
Characterizing the magnitude, time course, and risk factors of pollen-associated health effects in the industrial Midwest in a changing climate.
Forecasting airborne pollen during climate change
Understanding pollen phenology to build a better pollen prediction model.
Climate change and infectious disease
Shifts in climate are changing seasonal infectious disease dynamics, particularly for environmentally-transmitted diseases. This project assesses what climate change means for the future of cholera epidemics?
Climate change & colonialism as drivers of public health
Applying approaches at the intersection of social and environmental epidemiology to consider climate change, environmental hazards, and the role of colonialism as a determinant of health during disasters.
Climate change and valley fever
Building epidemiological models to understand associations between environmental phenomena – such as drought and fires – and environmental disruptions – such as the drilling of new oil wells or fallowing of agricultural lands – and Valley fever incidence in California and Arizona.
Climate change and fungal infections
Investigating the relationship between major climate phenomenon – such as flooding – and disease outbreaks (e.g. histoplasmosis and blastomycosis).
