| The emerging and evolving field of landscape epidemiology has explored techniques for summarizing spatial patterns in disease transmission data. Researchers first discussed adding satellites to the tools of landscape epidemiology in the early 1970s, with the launch of NASA's Landsat-1 satellite, says Robert Venezia, program manager for public health applications at NASA's headquarters. Landscape epidemiology, as the theory is known, holds that researchers can therefore use features of the landscape to identify specific areas where the risk of transmitting these diseases is greatest. |
