This CAREER project seeks to understand impacts of extreme natural events and increased climatic variability on the spread of water-borne pathogens. Spatial and temporal satellite data will be used extensively to create models that predict the distribution of pathogenic cholera bacteria. The overall scientific objective is to determine risk of disease outbreaks in regions where increased climatic variability coincides with extreme natural events. Specific educational and outreach objectives include: (i) developing an environmental sustainability curriculum within West Virginia University; (ii) actively recruiting and training minority and underrepresented group students in research; (iii) developing an environmental visualization programming curriculum for middle/high school students.The research is targeted to provide a quantitative baseline framework, potentially applicable on global scales, to assess occurrence and spread of pathogens in the environment and human population. The intent is to aid preparation of disease mitigation strategies by policymakers, aid organizations, and governmental health agencies. The computational infrastructure developed through this research will be made available to a wide array of students who have interest in public health, climate modeling, and hydroclimatology.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个职业项目旨在了解极端自然事件的影响，并增加气候变异性对水传播病原体的传播。 空间和时间卫星数据将被广泛使用，以创建预测致病性霍乱细菌分布的模型。 总体科学目标是确定在气候变异性增加与极端自然事件相吻合的地区的疾病爆发风险。 特定的教育和外展目标包括：（i）在西弗吉尼亚大学境内开发环境可持续性课程； （ii）积极招募和培训少数民族和代表性不足的研究学生； （iii）为中/高中学生开发环境可视化编程课程。该研究旨在提供定量基线框架，该框架可能适用于全球范围，以评估病原体在环境和人群中的发生和传播。目的是帮助制定政策制定者，艾滋病组织和政府卫生机构的缓解策略。通过这项研究开发的计算基础设施将提供给对公共卫生，气候建模和氢化气候学兴趣的各种学生。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估标准来通过评估来进行评估的。
