Previous Experience relevant for INSPIRE development The objective of my work during my PhD was to develop a GIS-based (Geographic Information System) platform combining environment and health information to map environmental disparities and detect vulnerable populations. This platform permits the ongoing systematic collection, integration, and analysis of data regarding emission sources, environmental contamination, exposure to environmental hazards, population and health. To achieve this objective, combining exposure assessment and spatial data is a fundamental prerequisite that imply to first overcome different scientific limitations such as the linkage of the several databases to describe the global source-effect chain, the feasibility to integrate these data to the platform at a fine scale and the construction of interest variables and indicators by the development of spatial analysis and geostatistic tools combined to a multimedia exposure model.
Primary Business My present aims to continue to develop this patform 
Environmental application domains - mapping environmental disparities throughout France; - identifying vulnerable population and determinants of exposure to manage and plan remedial actions; - highlighting hot-spot areas with significantly elevated exposure indicator values to define environmental monitoring campaigns; - providing exposure database to quantify relationships between exposure dose estimate and cancer mortality data in the CIRCE project (Cancer Inequalities Region County Environment).
