Health-Atmosphere Nexus Group
Tracking the Impact of Atmospheric Change on Human Health
Welcome to the online home of the Health-Atmosphere Nexus Group, based at the School of Public Health, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
​
We are an interdisciplinary research team dedicated to advancing public health through innovative AI-driven exposure modeling and risk assessment. Our work focuses on environmental health challenges such as air pollution, extreme weather events, and natural disasters. By integrating satellite remote sensing data, health and insurance records, community stakeholder insights, low-cost sensor technology, and chemical transport models, we develop effective solutions to enhance community resilience and protect public health.
​
We warmly invite you to explore our team's Capabilities, get to know our People, and discover our ongoing Research. We're excited to share special Moments from our journey and eagerly look forward to new Opportunities for collaboration!
Acknowledgment: Over the past decade, our research has been extensively supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation. We are grateful to the University of Wisconsin, Emory University, and the University of Texas for providing us with opportunities to apply atmospheric science methods in public health research.
