In this book, epidemiology and public health are integrated with spatial data science to examine health issues in dynamically changing environments. This is too broad a field to be covered in one book and so it has been necessary to be selective with the topics, methods and examples.

Dr. Justine Blanford is a professor of GeoHealth at ITC, University of Twente. She addresses a variety of local and global health challenges across different spatial and temporal scales. Her work is centred around three main facets that include (i) risk: understanding where and when health risks are, the mechanisms driving risk (why) and who may be affected; (ii) prevention: what response and actions are needed and where; and (iii) communication: what to communicate. She earned a PhD in Biology from Imperial College, UK; an MPhil from the University of Leicester, UK; and a BaH from Queen’s University, Canada. She learned her GIS skills at the Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS), Canada.
