Earth System Interactions and Implications for Geohealth
Session ID#: 80497
Session Description:
Knowledge of the multiple interactions among ocean, land, and atmosphere is essential to understand many critical geohealth issues, including the outbreaks of infectious diseases, health and safety impacts of air- and water-borne pollutants and pathogens. This session encourages observational and modeling studies of key processes of the Earth system (ocean, land, atmosphere) and how these processes interact to affect human and ecosystem health. Topics of interest include 1) linkages and feedbacks between land surface to atmospheric composition and human health; 2) field measurements and satellite remote sensing of land surface processes, aerosols, and other key Earth system components directly related to human health; 3) land degradation, soil erosion and airborne and waterborne pathogens and implications on human health; 4) regional and global public health effects of changing climate, fire, and land surface; and 5) health effects of human exposure to naturally-occurring earth materials.
