INVESTIGATING CLIMATE CHANGE-RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL AND STRUCTURAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH: A MIXED METHODS PILOT STUDY WITH FIRST-GENERATION MIGRANTS FROM LATIN AMERICA TO METRO-ATLANTA

Background: Migration from Latin America to the US has been increasing over the past few decades.Migrants may experience structural and environmental vulnerabilities that increase their risk for negative impacts of climate change upon resettlement.This pilot study examined these determinants of health for Latin American immigrants in Atlanta.Method

The presence of compacted layers in soils can induce subprocesses (e.g., discontinuity of water flow) and induces soil erosion and rill development.This study assesses how rill erosion in Oxisols is affected by a plow pan.The study shows that changes in hydraulic properties occur when the topsoil is eroded because the compacted layer lies close bel

The mechanism of ice nucleation to form Type 2 PSCs is important for controlling the ice particle size and hence the possible dehydration in the polar Support Band winter stratosphere.This paper probes heterogeneous ice nucleation on sulfuric acid tetrahydrate (SAT).Laboratory experiments were performed using a thin-film, high-vacuum apparatus in w

This Digital Picture Frame study focused on the forest ecosystem dynamics assessment and predictive modelling deforestation and forest cover prediction in a part of north-eastern India i.e.forest areas along West Bengal, Bhutan, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam border in Eastern Himalaya using temporal satellite imagery of 1975, 1990 and 2009 and predic
