Our Mission

To address critical issues in population health and health care delivery through cross-disciplinary, geospatial innovation in data-driven research

Our Passion

Through applied geographic techniques our work allows us to draw on insights on the effect of geography in healthcare.
Geographic Approaches to Population and Clinical Health
Our team provides innovative strategies to harness the power of location information from today's data-driven world to improve health and healthcare.
Geoinformatics
Geographic analysis is a critical component in our work to understand the complexities of health care access and delivery issues. We employ travel time and service area catchment strategies in our work.
Geographic Analysis
Applied geographic methods allow researchers the ability to explore health service utilization for specific patient populations to better address geographic access disparities.
Rural Population Management/Clinical Phenotyping with Geographic Methods
Health services research examines the impact that various factors have on the ability for individuals to access health care services. In our work, we focus on the impact that geographic access has on the ability for individuals to receive necessary medical services.
Health Services Research
Epidemiology is the study of disease. Our work focuses on the use of geographic information science to unveil the influence that geography has on disease etiology.

    The Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program Executive Committee recently named Dr. Tracy Onega the Geospatial Working Group Interim Co-Chair.

    The ECHO program is a National Institute of Health (NIH) funded initiative to study the effects of environmental exposures on health outcomes in children. Specifically, the focus is to study the effects of different environmental exposures on the upper and lower airway, obesity, pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes as well as neurodevelopment.

    In Dr. Onega’s role, she will be working with Co-Chair, William Wheaton, to engage... Read More

  • Women In Science Project (WISP) Intern, Grace Sherrill, presents her work at the 26th Annual Karen E. Wetterhahn Symposium
    Tue, 05/30/2017 - 15:35

    The GeoInformatics Collaboratory hosted their second Women In Science Project (WISP) intern during the 2017 Dartmouth Winter and Spring Terms.
    The WISP internship is designed to introduce first year Dartmouth students to ongoing research activities in order to foster a lifelong engagement in the Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Under the mentorship of Dr. Tracy Onega, Jennifer Alford-Teaster, Craig Ganoe, John Higgins, and Dr. Erika Moen, Ms. Sherrill joined the team in developing an approach to integrate geospatial and social network analyses methods.

    Ms. Sherrill began her 2017 internship developing an annotated... Read More
