ZKI-PH 4: Climate and Societal Analysis
- Head:
- Christopher Irrgang
- Deputy:
- Heiner Stuke
The unit ZKI-PH 4 "Climate and Societal Analysis" is focused on the strategic management and expansion of research at the interface between climate change, society and public health. A central goal of the unit is the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods to integrate research on climate change and public health as a holistic system. With this approach, the development of digital models and early warning systems is being pursued, in order to fundamentally strengthen societal resilience to climate-related health risks. Methodologically, the unit combines techniques from geophysical climate modelling, mathematical and statistical disease modelling, the analysis of dynamic networks in global transport routes or social media, and computational social and behavioural sciences, which are combined with the help of AI in relation to the public health sector.
