Leveraging Advances in Remote Geospatial Technologies to Inform Precision Environmental Health Decisions - A Workshop

Completed

Topics

By presenting environmental health data in a spatial context, geospatial technologies provide insight on the spread of pollution and disease, help identify at-risk populations, and monitor environmental health trends.

This workshop explored how advances in geospatial technologies could inform “precision environmental health”—targeted public health interventions that reach the right populations at the right time. Workshop sessions also focused on how geospatial technologies could address environmental justice issues, and direct responses to environmental disasters.

This workshop was convened by the National Academies’ Standing Committee on the Use of Emerging Science on Environmental Health Decisions.
