The Institute built a consortium which inclu-
des this multi-disciplinary science cluster to
improve our abilities to carry out environ-
mental health research, particularly in the
area of regional weather/climate on malaria
and malnutrition in West Africa. Through our
cooperation, we have access to satellite
imaging ("remote sensing") and regional
climate models.
This enables us to study linkages e.g. with
infectious disease models and real-time
data (see projects CLIMIMO and PALUCLIM,
page 32). Prof. Jean-Pierre Lacaux has had
close links to the Nouna Health Research
Center and serves on its international scien-
tific advisory board (page 92)
