Models for Environmental Health and Policy

WELCOME 

The Models for Environmental Health and Policy lab undertakes quantitative and qualitative analysis of environmental systems in order to guide policy and individual decision-making.

We are interested both in how individual and policy decisions are made and in developing tools to facilitate decisions that reflect social and individual preferences. 

Our work uses tools and knowledge from engineering, environmental science and public health to produce information that informs public policy while robustly characterizing the large uncertainties inherent in complex environmental systems.

We collaborate extensively with researchers and practitioners in the natural, social, engineering, and health sciences in order to produce analyses that feature robust representations of diverse processes.
