Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Law
  • Internal medicine
  • Public health

Alistair Woodward focuses on Environmental health, Public health, Climate change, Risk assessment and Surgery. His work carried out in the field of Environmental health brings together such families of science as Epidemiology, Smoke, Relative risk, Health policy and Health equity. Alistair Woodward has researched Public health in several fields, including Poverty, Natural resource economics, Demography and Socioeconomic status.

Alistair Woodward works mostly in the field of Natural resource economics, limiting it down to topics relating to Urban area and, in certain cases, Greenhouse gas, Climate change mitigation and Air pollution, as a part of the same area of interest. His research in the fields of Effects of global warming overlaps with other disciplines such as Human health. His Risk assessment research includes elements of Diminution, Nuclear medicine, Dosimetry and Cohort.

His most cited work include:

  • Worldwide burden of disease from exposure to second-hand smoke: a retrospective analysis of data from 192 countries (1084 citations)
  • Public health benefits of strategies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions: urban land transport (732 citations)
  • Potential effect of population and climate changes on global distribution of dengue fever: an empirical model. (723 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental health, Public health, Climate change, Demography and Injury prevention. Alistair Woodward mostly deals with Passive smoking in his studies of Environmental health. His studies deal with areas such as Health care and Risk assessment as well as Public health.

He has included themes like Natural resource economics, Greenhouse gas and Environmental planning in his Climate change study. His work focuses on many connections between Greenhouse gas and other disciplines, such as Air pollution, that overlap with his field of interest in Air quality index and Environmental protection. His Demography research includes themes of Epidemiology, Cohort study, Gerontology, Ethnic group and Cohort.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (25.82%)
  • Public health (20.33%)
  • Climate change (15.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Climate change (15.66%)
  • Public health (20.33%)
  • Environmental planning (6.32%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Climate change, Public health, Environmental planning, Demography and Greenhouse gas are his primary areas of study. Alistair Woodward does research in Climate change, focusing on Global warming specifically. Public health and Return on investment are two areas of study in which Alistair Woodward engages in interdisciplinary work.

His Demography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cross-sectional study, Life expectancy and Cohort study. Alistair Woodward combines subjects such as Air pollution, China and Environmental protection with his study of Greenhouse gas. His Air pollution study incorporates themes from Pedestrian, Public transport, Environmental health, Air quality index and Sample.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Public health co-benefits of greenhouse gas emissions reduction: A systematic review. (38 citations)
  • Prevalence trends tell us what did not precipitate the US obesity epidemic (37 citations)
  • Ambient fine particulate pollution associated with diabetes mellitus among the elderly aged 50 years and older in China. (30 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Law
  • Internal medicine
  • China

His scientific interests lie mostly in Public health, Climate change, Environmental planning, Urban design and Greenhouse gas. Alistair Woodward undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Public health and Return on investment through his research. His study of Extreme weather is a part of Climate change.

His Urban design research incorporates themes from Psychological intervention, Applied psychology and Ethnography. His study in Greenhouse gas is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agriculture and Air pollution. His Agriculture study combines topics in areas such as Economic sector, Natural resource economics, Quality assessment and Data extraction.
