Fishers Nutrition Health and Climate Change (FiNHCC)

The FiNHCC Research Project is an ongoing collaborative study investigating the impact of climate change on the health and well-being of Mexican fishing communities. The study examines both the quantitative analysis and forecast of seafood’s role in dietary intake and immune function while also incorporating qualitative insights from the experiences and knowledge of community members.

Ocean & Human Communities: Ecogenomic Public Health Study

In collaboration with the Immune Ecology and Conservation Physiology Lab (led by Dr. Karina Acevedo Whitehouse) in Mexico, we are exploring the impacts of environmental factors on the health status of marine mammals and the interconnectedness with human populations. Currently, we are joining forces to understand how antibiotic resistance (AMR) data reflects the dynamics of interactions among marine mammals, ocean ecosystems, and human populations.

Climate Change & Mental Health Research Initiative

This international collaborative project explores the emotional and psychological dimensions of climate change in different populations. One story we will explore is about communities reliant on marine environments. Through interviews, qualitative & quantitative methods, and participatory visual methods, the project will document resilience and stress responses in Mexican fishers.

One Ocean Health

[COMING SOON]

This project takes a One Health approach to explore how changes in water ecosystems are affecting our health and well-being (and vice versa!). We'll be focusing on essential aspects such as nutrition, human physiology, and even emerging pathogens.
