Research interests
Geoff s research experience is in environmental epidemiology and environmental health policy, allowing an insight into the requirements for effective translation of research into policy. Involving trans-disciplinary collaborative teams funded by nationally competitive grants, he has applied state-of-the-art exposure assessment and statistical approaches for epidemiological studies (such as time series and case-cover analyses, geospatial techniques) to investigate environmental risk factors for health. For example, research into the effects of air pollution on health was used in the development of Australian ambient air quality standards; Geoff coordinated a project using spatial epidemiological methods and routinely collected health, environment and socio-demographic data to investigate their effects health outcomes such as the effects of drinking water quality on births. This project developed innovative processes for geocoding birth records by maternal address, leading to applied projects with the NSW Cancer Institute.
