Wildlife disease and environmental health in Alaska
Fact Sheet
2013-3027
By: Caroline R. Van Hemert, John M. Pearce, Karen Oakley, and Mary E. Whalen
Environmental health is defined by connections between the physical environment, ecological health, and human health. Current research within the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recognizes the importance of this integrated research philosophy, which includes study of disease and pollutants as they pertain to wildlife and humans. Due to its key geographic location and significant wildlife resources, Alaska is a critical area for future study of environmental health.
