Not new to NatCap
• Gretchen: Sam Myers connection forever
• Define well-being broadly
• Research frontier – strategic plan
• WIG
Two new initiatives
• HEAL – broad NGO+University consortium
• Keck Futures Initiative – working group
• Part of UVM startup
• Good time to discuss:
– Ideas, interest, ongoing work, what’s really needed?

HEAL components
• Specific studies:
–

–
–
–
Wildlife access -> Nutritional health (S. Myers)
Forest fires -> respiratory disease (D. Jacob)
MPAs -> local food security (H. Fox)
Deforestation -> Malaria incidence (J. Patz)
Flooding -> diarrheal disease (S. Jupiter)
• Cross-cutting:
– Production function modeling – InVEST (T. Ricketts)
– Roll up lessons (all)
Case #1: wildlife and nutrition
The rough plan
• Quantify relationship between access to wildlife (marine,
freshwater, terrestrial) and nutritional status of communities.
• Gradients of access to wildlife populations
• Measure protein intake, micronutrients, burden of disease
Case #2: Fires and respiratory disease
Utah Hospital Admissions, Children 0-17 Year
Steel plant closed for one year
(86/87) due to labor dispute
Pope, Am J Public Health 1989; 79:623
The rough plan
1. Evaluate effects of fires on surface air quality and human health in
downwind population centers.
2. Estimate health impacts of different land management scenarios
Emissions ~ fires, landcover
Transport, dilution, chemistry
Exposure, disease incidence

The rough plan
Funds for 3-year post-doc
•Co-advise with Sam Myers
What will they do?
•Build general prod. function with one HEAL case study
•Extend one NatCap model to report human health outcomes
•Do own case study – take advantage of existing dataset
•Build library of existing elements of production functions
Keck Futures Initiative
• Ecosystem services conference
Working Group: ES and Health
• Disease ecologists, epidemiologists, ES people
• Central idea: Link ecosystem and health models
• Follow up grant: $100K (Kate Brauman leading)
• Framework to link disciplines
• Review, concept paper, case study?
• Similar to HEAL (but more academic). Join forces?
How new is this?
Old:
•Bunch of good case examples, some classics
– Lyme disease – dilution effect
– Malaria – deforestation
– Mental health – recreation
•Environmental health: indoor air quality, etc.
New:
•Focus on consequences of ecosystem change.
•General understanding – production functions
•Make available to decision makers
(kinda like NatCap)
