About

This workshop produced a summary available here.

An emerging body of research details intersections between environment and infectious disease exposure and transmission. This workshop took 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 investigated 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.

The workshop included sessions on:

Principles of Exposure Science in Infectious Diseases
The Intersection of Environmental Science and Infectious Diseases in Surveillance and Monitoring
Enabling Collaborations with Combining Complex Data Sets
Using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence to Drive New Questions
Breakout Sessions - Brainstorming for Responses and Solutions

This workshop built on the Standing Committee’s 2019 workshop, which focused on the interplay of environmental stressors, infectious disease, and human health at the individual level.
