Marissa Childs's research explores how large-scale environmental changes such as climate change and land use change affect human health. Her work employs remote sensing modeling to quantify nonlinear context-dependent effects of environmental changes. In particular, her past and ongoing research has focused on predicting yellow fever virus spillover in Brazil, projecting changes in dengue incidence due to climate warming, and producing granular estimates of wildfire smoke exposure. She is especially interested in understanding climate-sensitive diseases in regions like Madagascar.
