Our Work

PlanetLab investigates disturbances in Earth’s atmospheric, hydrosphere, and lithospheric systems, focusing on human impacts that affect global health and well-being.

We employ the Planetary Health framework to examine how human decisions influence critical Earth systems, aiming to foster a more sustainable and resilient future.

Our Mission

By exploring the interaction between Earth and human systems, we strive to improve human health and well-being in communities exposed to atmospheric, surficial, and tectonic hazards.
