This project uses research, field study and GIS information to portay how human influence on the environment, including global warming through the greenhouse effect, and population concentration through urbanization, has affected the spread of diseases. This project will use a visual display where human influence has made such an impact as to allow it, and will focus on malaria as a case study, to give an in-depth look at one of the patterns of contagion influenced by human behavior.
