At a rural clinic, a health worker records a child’s weight; at a market, a parent chooses what fish to buy. We’re translating real-world signals into timely guidance that supports nutrition security and public health.
Linking climate and environmental exposures to malnutrition in a food-insecurity hotspot
Project Lead: Christopher Golden
What we’re building
- Secure, reusable pipelines that connect clinic data with environmental signals.
- A shared approach with local partners to test whether alerts arrive in time to help.
What it enables
- Earlier, targeted public-health action before crises deepen.
- A blueprint other health systems can tailor to their needs.
Optimizing Global Nutrition from Seafood Harvested from a Warming Ocean
Project Leads: Elsie Sunderland; Christopher Golden
What we’re building
- Linked datasets on species, catch locations, trade flows, nutrients, and contaminants, with scenario analysis in the cloud.
- A transparent framework for region-specific guidance as oceans and markets change.
What it enables
- Safer, smarter seafood choices for families and public-health agencies.
- Consistent, evidence-based advice that can evolve with new data.
