Multi-scale Modeling for Viral Pandemics (4/1/2021)

Rita Colwell SlidesVideo, Abstract: Models developed for understanding and predicting outbreaks of cholera, based on work done in the Chesapeake Bay and the Bay of Bengal, today assist UNICEF and aid agencies in predicting risk of cholera in Yemen and other countries of the African continent.  With onset of COVID-19, the models were modified and used to predict risk of COVID-19, the current pandemic of coronavirus.

Multi-scale Modeling and Viral Pandemics (4/22/2021)

  1. Debra Peters Slides, Video, USDA, Los Cruces. Title: Cross-scale interactions and catastrophic events: towards a predictive model of the spread of vector-borne diseases. Abstract: Predicting the processes and environmental drivers of incursion and expansion of vector-borne diseases is a major challenge that needs to be met for geographically-extensive diseases leading to catastrophic events.
