Using GIS to Understand Environmental Complexity

2008 GIS Symposium: Sustaining the Future & Understanding the Past. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide ideal platforms for the convergence of disease-specific information and analyses in relation to the natural environment, global human health and public policy. Climate change and biodiversity loss, from genes to ecosystems, may play a role in disease emergence and transmission. Recorded in the Kelvin Smith Library, Case Western Reserve University on April 3, 2008.
