The American public can expect to add earlier and more
severe flu seasons to the fallout from climate change, according to a research
study published online Jan. 28 in PLOS Currents: Influenza.
A team of scientists led by Sherry Towers, research
professor in the Mathematical, Computational and Modeling Sciences Center at
Arizona State University, studied waves of influenza and climate patterns in
the U.S. from the 1997-98 season to the present.
