The frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme weather events is increasing every year. From developing hospital system-wide heat prediction tools to understanding cardiovascular disease post-hurricanes to devising heat-adaptive urban greening solutions, the Ghosh lab is using a variety of research approaches and multistakeholder collaborations to protect the health of those most vulnerable to extreme weather impacts in NYC and around the world. The Ghosh lab's research projects are using the following tools and approaches:
mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative)
transdisciplinary team-building
epidemiology and spatial analyses
community engagement and research co-creation
cross-campus collaborations between Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medicine
