Research Consortium on Climate Change & Population Health: A Collaboration between IGI Global and the SeaTrust Institute

The Consortium's purpose is to co-create new interdisciplinary knowledge about climate change and population health using appropriate technological, communications and analytical tools including interactive GIS mapping of observed and predicted climate changes and related population health concerns. The resulting joint publications include a book devoted to the Consortium’s outcomes and a special journal edition devoted to lessons learned about e-research, will be outcomes of this project.

The SeaTrust Institute attended the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP 15, held in Copenhagen in December 2009, to promote the research consortium with global partners as well as those who influence climate related scientific research and policy.
