Mapping Environmental Stressors in the US (Climate+)

2026

Explore Climate and Health Equity with Duke’s REGAL Lab!
Join the Research to Eliminate Global Cancer Disparities (REGAL) Lab at the Duke University School of Medicine for a hands-on research experience on climate and health equity. Students will compile and analyze North Carolina county-level environmental indicators, such as air quality, extreme heat, and other climate-related stressors, alongside socioeconomic and health vulnerability measures. You will also collect and examine climate-related data on radon exposure and radon-related policies across the United States. Participants will gain practical research skills, work closely with experienced mentors, and contribute to impactful projects that advance environmental justice and promote health equity in underserved communities.
