The advent of global environmental change, with all its
uncertainties and requirement for long-term prediction, brings new
challenges and tasks for scientists, the public and policy makers.
A major environmental upheaval such as climate change is likely to
have significant health effects. Current mainstream epidemiological
research methods do not always adequately address the health
impacts that arise within a context in which the ecological and
other biophysical processes display non-linear and
feedback-dependent relationships. The agenda of research and policy
advice must be extended to include the larger-framed environmental
change issues. This book identifies the nature and scope of the
problem, and explores the conceptual and methodological approaches
to studying these relationships, modelling their future
realisation, providing estimates of health impacts, and
communicating the attendant uncertainties. This timely volume will
be of great interest to health scientists and graduate students
with an interest in the effects of global environmental change.
