************************************************************ ****************************** *********************
Dear colleagues,
This is the first announcement of our session on “Earth System Interactions and Implications for Geohealth“ (GH008) at the 2018 AGU Fall Meeting (10-14 December, 2018). Please consider submitting an abstract and informing colleagues who may have an interest in this session. Presentations on the effects of volcanism and volcanic hazards on human health would be welcomed!

Description: Knowledge of the multiple interactions among ocean, land and atmosphere is essential to understand many critical geohealth issues, including the outbreaks of infectious diseases and health impacts of air- and water-borne pollutants and pathogens . Encouraged in this session are observational and modeling studies of key processes of the Earth system (ocean, land, atmosphere) and how these processes interact to affect human and ecosystem health. Topics of interest include 1) linkages and feedbacks between land surface to atmospheric composition and human health; 2) field measurements and satellite remote sensing of land surface processes, aerosols, and other key Earth system components directly related to human health; 3) land degradation, soil erosion and airborne and waterborne pathogens and implications on human health; 4) regional and global public health effects of changing climate and land surface; and 5) health effects of human exposure to naturally-occurring earth materials.
Session conveners are Daniel Tong, Scott Van Pelt, Tom Gill and James Crooks.
Abstracts are due on August 1, 2018.
