Geospatial science and health: An overview of the Te Taiwhenua o te Hauora | The GeoHealth Laboratory’s impactful research over the past 20 years and what future health challenges will be tackled next
In this seminar, we will explore the differences in health and health behaviours by neighbourhood, uncovering some of the underlying reasons for these variations in health. To better understand the range of ways in which differences in health emerge, Professor Malcolm Campbell will present a series of research projects from Te Taiwhenua o te Hauora | The GeoHealth Laboratory
