An emerging body of research details how environmental stressors can influence susceptibility to disease. On June 8-9, this workshop will take a population-level look and collaborative approach to this complex relationship to inform public health decision making during outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics.

Specifically, workshop participants will investigate how emerging environmental exposure assessment tools could help identify and monitor critical pathways for exposure to infectious agents, and how recent advances in climate and environmental health modeling techniques could be applied to predict transmission dynamics and provide early warning of emerging infectious disease outbreaks.
