Dr. Alexander More's research focuses on the impact of climate change on population and ecosystem health and the economy. He is the author of several landmark studies of the impact of climate on pandemics and pollution, and an active contributor to the fields of environmental health, health economics, sustainability and planetary health. By using ultra-high-resolution climatic, epidemiological, ecological and archeoscientific records, Dr. More brings recent drastic environmental changes into a broader perspective, one that allows stark comparisons between current and past trends in temperature, pollution, pandemic disease, and extreme weather, all of which directly impact food production, human health, economic prosperity, and political stability.
