This atlas brings together research projects that intersect across places, questions, and approaches. It offers several routes through the work, and the same collection may appear along more than one of them.

Research on geographic access, health-service placement, early diagnosis and treatment, and community-based intervention.
METF Mapping · Early Diagnosis & Treatment · Targeted Mass Drug Administration · Thailand–Myanmar Border MCH
Research on mobility, activity spaces, population movement, and the places people occupy beyond their residential locations.
Activity Spaces · METF Mapping · Targeted Mass Drug Administration
Research connecting environmental conditions, vector ecology, human exposure, and infectious-disease transmission.
Vector-Borne Disease Ecology · Earth Observation Hub
Research using satellite observations, environmental data, GPS, mobile-network data, and other forms of spatial measurement to reconstruct processes that cannot be continuously observed on the ground.
Earth Observation · Activity Spaces
Research on health, disease, mobility, access, and infrastructure in border regions and conflict-affected settings.
