Nutrition Security Under Changing Conditions

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 SunderlandChristopher 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.
