Event
The Hei-Planet Hub attended the the European Geosciences Union (EGU) conference, which took place from 27 April to 2 May 2025.

The EGU General Assembly is an annual meeting that brings together geoscientists from all over the world to cover all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences and whose vision is to “realise a sustainable and just future for humanity and for the planet”

During the conference, Stella Dafka, a Hei-Planet postdoctoral researcher, gave a presentation on the potential utility of Indian Ocean sea surface temperature for predicting dengue outbreaks in South and Central Asia.

Coupling experiments and macroecological models to resolve multi-stressor effects in vector–pathogen systems

Planetary health is getting increasingly affected by intersecting global crises, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and the degradation of essential ecosystems. Although significant progress has been made in understanding how climate influences vectors and vector–pathogen dynamics, evidence remains limited and uneven regarding the combined effects of multiple environmental stressors. In the newly published article, authors emphasise the need for integrating experiments, field observations and mechanistic, scenario-based modelling.
