Call for papers: New horizons in geospatial lifestyle and food environment research
Advances in lifestyle sensing, geo-tagged big data and related technologies are helping us better understand the highly complex, multifactorial nature of overweight, obesity (OO) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), in our quest to design more effective public health interventions for the control and prevention of these conditions.
Call for papers: Recent advances in geospatial techniques for monitoring and mitigating climate change effects on human health
Climate and climate change affect human health and wellbeing in a multitude of ways. This Collection is focused on the key roles played by geospatial data, methods and tools in the measurement, analysis and modelling of climate change and its effects on human health. Research presented in this collection is well aligned with the majority of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 13 on Climate Action.
