Research Interest
Soskolne's focus is on the public health implications of declines in ecological integrity, locally, regionally and globally. He is recognized for the use of epidemiological methods — through the sub-specialty of "eco-epidemiology" — to inform this line of research. Furthermore, he is interested in the policy implications of global change for public health, and in bridging professional ethics and epidemiological methods in risk management for policy and law.
