SUMMARY:'Exposure Track' -The Impact of Mobile Device Based Mobility Patte
 rns on Quantifying Population Exposure to Air Pollution - Dr Marguerite Ny
 han\, Havard University
DTSTART:20161018T131500Z

UID:TALK68591@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Olalekan Popoola
DESCRIPTION:With the aim of influencing future environmental policies for 
 reducing human exposure to air pollution\, Nyhan’s research focuses on m
 odeling and predicting interactions between human populations\, urban syst
 ems and the environment. Nyhan examines data gathered from various human-d
 riven activities\, and applies models to describe the underlying principle
 s governing these separate systems and their interactions. By leveraging d
 igital information such as data from cellular networks\, GPS navigation sy
 stems and distributed networks of sensors\, Nyhan develops new approaches 
 to study the interplay between human behaviour\, the environment and healt
 h. \nIn her presentation\, Nyhan will discuss a number of studies\, includ
 ing a recently published paper demonstrating the use of mobile device data
  to track the movements of millions of people in New York City\, for quant
 ifying population exposure to fine particulate matter. This work has been 
 featured in the Guardian\, MIT News and numerous other online media public
 ations. \n
