I believe I can deliver the LWEC Health Knowledge Placement Fellowship for the following reasons:I am an international expert on the research topic of climate change impacts and adaptation for health, and extreme weather events and health. These are quite complex topics that cover multiple outcomes, multiple hazards, multiple research methods, and have implications for a wide range of decision makers for policies, strategies and measures at different spatial and temporal scales. I have worked on scientific research on the climate, weather, and climate change effects on health for 16 years at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I have conducted epidemiological studies on heat waves (our research was used in the DoH's Heatwave Plan for England), and coordinated the first systematic review of the health effects of floods, as well as contributed to epidemiological studies of the mortality effects of floods in the UK (part of an HPA-EA-LSHTM collaborative project). I have developed frameworks for the assessment of future climate change impacts on human health (I am coordinating a global health impact assessment of climate change impacts on human health for WHO Geneva). I have great experience and enthusiasm for inter-displinary research on environmental change and human health. My inter-disciplinary research experience includes several projects funded by NERC (e.g. QUEST GSI project) and I have participated in NERC funded workshops (Climate change and exposure to chemicals from agriculture). I am currently working on the health component of ISI MIP project (InterSectoral Impacts Model Inter-comparison Project) of which NERC is a funding partner. I have also provided expert advice to the World Meteorological Organization. I have been interested in the policy dimensions of this research for a long time. I have been concerned that much climate and health research does not have clear policy implications beyond advocacy for mitigation. However, research is now moving towards more policy relevant areas and this is very exciting time for global change research. I have a strong personal interest in developing methods for evidence synthesis. One of my key research interests is developing criteria for the evaluation of epidemiological evidence for climate and health; this demands critical thinking and an assessment of the wide range of current tools available for risk assessment.Finally, due to my extensive experience, I have excellent networks within the environmental change and health research communities, as well as links with decision makers at local, national and international levels. One of the characteristics of Public Health is breadth. I understand a broad range of health issues and I am able to see their relationships in a wider context. In particular, I have a deep understanding of a range of environment and health issues in the context of UK policy. I see this Fellowship as a great opportunity to contribute my skills, technical expertise and enthusiasm. It is a great challenge that would enable me to develop my experience in an important and complex multi-disciplinary environment.

我相信我可以提供LWEC健康知识安置奖学金，原因如下：我是气候变化影响和适应健康，极端天气事件和健康研究课题的国际专家。这些都是相当复杂的议题，涉及多种结果、多种危害、多种研究方法，并对不同时空尺度的政策、战略和措施的广大决策者产生影响。我在伦敦卫生和热带医学学院从事气候、天气和气候变化对健康影响的科学研究已经16年了。我对热浪进行了流行病学研究（我们的研究被用于卫生部的英格兰热浪计划），并协调了洪水对健康影响的首次系统性审查，并为英国洪水死亡率影响的流行病学研究做出了贡献（HPA-EA-LSHTM合作项目的一部分）。我已经制定了评估未来气候变化对人类健康影响的框架（我正在为世卫组织日内瓦协调气候变化对人类健康影响的全球健康影响评估）。我对环境变化和人类健康的跨学科研究有着丰富的经验和热情。我的跨学科研究经验包括NERC资助的几个项目（例如QUEST GSI项目），我参加了NERC资助的研讨会（气候变化和暴露于农业化学品）。我目前正在ISI MIP项目（部门间影响模型相互比较项目）的健康部分工作，NERC是该项目的资助伙伴。我还向世界气象组织提供了专家咨询意见。长期以来，我一直对这项研究的政策层面感兴趣。我一直感到关切的是，许多气候和健康研究除了倡导减缓之外，没有明确的政策影响。然而，研究现在正转向更多的政策相关领域，这是全球变化研究非常令人兴奋的时刻。我个人对开发证据合成方法有浓厚的兴趣。我的主要研究兴趣之一是为气候和健康的流行病学证据的评估制定标准;这需要批判性思维和对目前可用于风险评估的广泛工具进行评估;最后，由于我的丰富经验，我在环境变化和健康研究界拥有良好的网络，并与地方、国家和国际各级的决策者建立了联系。公共卫生的特点之一是广泛性。我了解广泛的健康问题，我能够在更广泛的背景下看到它们之间的关系。特别是，我对英国政策背景下的一系列环境和健康问题有着深刻的理解。我认为这个奖学金是一个很好的机会，可以贡献我的技能，技术专长和热情。这是一个巨大的挑战，使我能够在一个重要而复杂的多学科环境中发展我的经验。
