Chen Chen

Bio

Chen Chen is a postdoctoral scholar at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego (Advisor: Dr. Tarik Benmarhnia). She is an environmental health scientist, climate change epidemiologist, and data scientist by training and experience. She conducts research on the design and application of epidemiologic methods to understand how environmental exposures affect population health and equity, and to support evidence-based policy development, especially in the context of climate change.

Recent work

Exploring spatial heterogeneity in synergistic effects of compound climate hazards, with Lara Schwarz, Noam Rosenthal, Miriam E. Marlier, and Tarik Benmarhnia, Science Advances.

Differential participation, with Hong Chen, Jay S. Kaufman, and Tarik Benmarhnia, Epidemiology.

The local impacts of coal and oil power plants retirements, with Sindana D. Ilango, Lucas R.F. Henneman, Joan A. Casey, and Tarik Benmarhnia, Environmental Research.

Using parametric g-computation to estimate the effect of long-term exposure to air pollution on mortality risk, with Hong Chen, Aaron vanDonkelaar, Richard T.Burnett, Randall V.Martin, Li Chen, Michael Tjepkema, Megan Kirby-McGregor, Yi Li, Jay S.Kaufman, and TarikBenmarhnia, Environmental Health Perspectives.

Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and COVID-19 severity, with John Wang, Jeff Kwong, JinHee Kim, Aaron van Donkelaar, Randall V. Martin, Perry Hystad, Yushan Su, Eric Lavigne, Megan Kirby-McGregor, Jay S. Kaufman, Tarik Benmarhnia, and Hong Chen, CMAJ.

Temporal variation in association between short-term exposure to fine particulate matter and hospitalisations, with Jason A. Warrington, Francesca Dominici, Roger D. Peng, Daniel C. Esty, Jennifer F. Bobb, and Michelle L. Bell, Lancet Planetary Health.
