Communities & Environmental Risk


A Symposium with cross-disciplinary relevance and appeal, held at Cornell University, Sept 8-9, 2003. The purpose of the Symposium was to:

  • Strengthen the capacity of the Land Grant system to work with communities in preparing and recovering from natural and man-made biohazards (e.g., severe winter weather, highly infectious diseases and water system contamination).
  • Identify issues and build skills integrating community, biosciences and the Land Grant outreach mission.
  • Build networks across disciplines and between research and outreach, bridging the life and social sciences to develop a framework for biohazard prevention, preparedness, and remediation.
