ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Personal statement of research objectives A main objective of my research is to focus on population-wide, long-term global environmental health issues; these include global climate change, deforestation, and landuse and urbanization patterns that pose a threat to public health. I am collaborating with mathematical modelers, ecologists, climatologists, economists and a diversity of other public health experts. Integration of the basic sciences will be a significant portion of my risk assessment efforts. Another goal is to promote environmental health teaching in the field of global environmental change.
