Dr. Natalia Jones is a senior research associate in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia. Her main area of interest is in how changes in the natural environment impact upon human health. Recent research has included statistical and geographical analysis into the impact of climate change on air and waterborne disease (e.g. pollen allergies, cholera). She also researches how pathogens transfer from the natural environment into humans and has recently undertaken research into the spatial distribution of smart local energy systems.
