Overview
Explore the complex interplay between climate change and various health issues in this comprehensive lecture from the Quantitative Ecology Training Program. Delve into the impacts of climate change on diseases like Dengue and Lyme, examine the effects of land use changes on disease spread, and investigate the role of vectors in transmission. Analyze the consequences of industrial agriculture, climate refugees, and natural disasters on public health. Gain insights into the COVID-19 pandemic, nutrition challenges, and the implications of habitat fragmentation. Learn how deterministic mathematical modeling can be applied to understand and address these pressing ecological and health concerns.
