Description:

The core of environment and health research is the belief that human-environment interactions have long and short term impacts on the health of humans and the environment (Fleming et al. 2017). There is a growth in the research and interest in environment and human-health partly due to growing concerns on climate change and environmental degradation. The relationship between environment and health is often complex beyond the simple models we employ as researchers to unravel the dynamism in this interaction. Big data and recent methodological and computational advances offer major promise to disentangling the complex interaction between environment and health through. Big data is not just about using large data sets, but critically, the COMBINATION of (large) datasets. The added value from integrating disparate datasets to reveal a sum greater than the individual parts. This session is intended to provide a forum for perspectives of the complex transactions between people, environment and health. To this end, emergent studies, methods and technologies in the environment and human health research will be the focus of the session.
