Organizer
Professor Clive Sabel, Chair in Quantitative Geography, University of Bristol
Area of research: Quantitative Social & Health Geography
The over-arching theme of his work is working with individual level data. This can mean working with point-pattern data (often residential location) to reveal epidemiological relationships to environmental exposures; building whole life-course exposures to social and environmental sources to, for example, understand wellbeing in urban areas; or data mining ‘Big Data’ such as twitter feeds for spatial-temporal trends.
Abstract:
The seminar will outline spatial and temporal approaches to unpacking the ‘Exposome’, primarily taking health impacts of air pollution as examples. A variety of personal sensors, technologies and theoretical concepts will be discussed to bring personal sampling, GPS, GIS, social media and Big Data together to reveal pattern from messy, complex data.
