CLUES (Climate, Urbanicity, Environment and Society)
CLUES (Climate, Urbanicity, Environment and Society) is a modular workflow for systematically integrating open-access geospatial environmental data with individual-level health research datasets. It automates the download, harmonisation, and management of data across climate, urbanicity, built and natural environments, air pollution, and regional socioeconomic conditions. CLUES helps researchers enrich health datasets with standardized environmental exposure information for reproducible environmental and public health analyses.
Key benefits
Modular workflow for linking geospatial environmental data to health datasets
Automates data download, harmonisation, and management
Covers climate, air pollution, urbanicity, environment, and socioeconomic indicators
Supports individual-level exposure assessment in health research
Uses open-access data sources for reproducible and transparent analyses
Applications
Environmental exposure assessment in epidemiological studies
Integration of climate and air pollution data with health cohorts
Analysis of urbanicity, built environment, and socioeconomic context
Preparation of harmonized geospatial covariates for statistical modelling
Support for reproducible environmental health and exposome research
Intended use
CLUES is intended for epidemiologists, public health researchers, environmental health scientists, bioinformaticians, and data analysts who need to integrate geospatial environmental information with health research data. It is particularly suited for studies investigating how climate, urbanicity, air pollution, natural and built environments, or regional socioeconomic conditions relate to individual-level health outcomes.
