Climate change, the defining crisis of our time, compounds and accelerates global challenges to health. A new initiative is taking shape across Oxford to foster a multidisciplinary approach to climate solutions: understanding, mitigating, and adapting to the complex interplay between climate and global health. Please join us for a kickoff seminar from Dr. Robbie Parks, visiting us from Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health.

Dr. Robbie M. Parks focuses his research on large-scale multi-disciplinary quantitative research focused on climate-related exposures, public health and equity. In this seminar, Dr. Parks will present his recent, ongoing, and future work, including work on tropical cyclones, flooding, heat stress, mental health-related outcomes, incarcerated people, and disparities, from local to global in scope.
