Educational Resource Hub
This crowd-sourced database of educational resources is meant to encompass any tools relevant to people working at the intersection of health and extreme weather. This might include submissions by the content authors themselves, or simply recommendations from community members for resources they have found helpful. This collection includes only links directing users to existing resources - it is not meant to house or archive content.
Keep in mind, this is a crowd-sourced database. CAFE does not verify the quality nor endorse the use of any materials included in this database. Make sure to follow the terms of use and attribution requirements specific to each resource. If you have created or used sources that would be relevant to the community of practice, please add it to the database by entering it in the submission form below.
The Public Health Extreme Events Research Network (PHEER) provide an overview of their novel data sources for post-disaster research, including the online web app to track environmental exposure data following the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. The NSF NHERI RAPID Facility demonstrates how they support public health research through timely deployment of advanced data collection technologies following wildfire events. Speakers: Joe Wartman, David Abramson, and Jaqueline Zdebski
Scholars from across the community share emerging research on the health impacts of wildfire events.
Speakers: Kelly Perry, Duke University; Lanxin Song, UCLA; Kelly Szott, Associate Professor of Sociology at Southern Oregon University; Kristen Cowan, Assistant Professor at University at Buffalo; Yang Liu, Professor at Emory University; Moderator: Colleen Reid, Professor at University of Colorado Boulder
Scholars from across the community share emerging research on how mitigation and resilience strategies can help reduce the impacts of wildfires on health.
Speakers: Amanda Hoffman-Hall, Assistant Professor at Eckert College; Dan Jaffe, Professor at University of Washington; Mercedes Bravo; Jo Kay Ghosh, Director of Research and Evaluation at Heluna Health; Sienna Mark, PhD Candidate at Northeastern University; Claire Bekker, PhD Student at UCLA; Moderator: Colleen Reid Professor at University of Colorado Boulder
Leading experts in environmental science and public health offer a dynamic panel exploring the connections between wildfires and human health. Speaker presentations were followed by a Q&A, with questions from the moderator and audience. Speakers: Minghao Qui, Assistant Professor at Stony Brook UniversityJennifer Stowell, Assistant Professor at University of MarylandSarah Henderson, Professor at University of British ColombiaMary Margaret Johnson, Principal Research Scientist at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public HealthModerator: Yang Liu, Professor at Emory University
This webinar introduces synthetic health data, including what it is, when it is useful, and where to find reliable datasets for research. No prior experience is required. It is suited for researchers new to synthetic data who want practical guidance on its applications and key considerations. The focus is on using synthetic data effectively rather than on the technical methods used to create it. Speaker: Shreya Nalluri, CAFE Data Management Team Member
Join us for a rich discussion of AI and Data Science in the climate health field, including the benefits, challenges, and remaining questions about its use in research, grant writing, and teaching. Speakers: Dr. Marianthi Kioumourtzoglou, Professor of Epidemiology and Environment and Society at Brown University, and Dr. Joan Casey, Associate Professor at University of Washington School of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
This training is a joint effort by the CAFE RCC and the virtual Center on Aging Climate and Health (CACHE). Intended for researchers unfamiliar or new to GitHub, this training provides recommendations on why you should use it to further your research and guidance for getting started.

Crowd-Sourced Environment and Health Educational Resources Collection Submission Form
Do you have a resource you’d like to share with the community in this educational resource collection? Please fill out the submission form below.
Your entry will be checked to ensure the content is appropriate, but will not be assessed for accuracy or completeness, and no other quality checks will be done.
If you have a dataset you’d like to share with the community, think about posting it to the CAFE collection on Dataverse!
Please fill out the form to add a resource you think might be helpful for the research community of practice.
The type of resources that should be shared here are one of the following:
- Book or reference text (e.g. textbook or guidebook on best practices or other essential knowledge)
- Code repository (e.g. a GitHub code bank of an existing analysis)
- Online code tutorial or vignette (e.g. a walkthrough of specific code or methods with examples and explanations)
- Online course (e.g. a series of learning objectives with content and assessment)
- Video or recorded webinar (e.g. educational resources presented in video format)
