“GeoHealth” and “planetary health” are distinct but related fields which seek not only to understand the impact of environmental changes on humans and vice-versa, but also to develop “solutions” or strategies for addressing environmental and public health challenges. Trained as an applied statistician, I focus on the application of innovative data science methods in this realm, with an emphasis on identifying pragmatic and just solutions.
