Journal of Astroepidemiology

astroepidemiology is the study of health in extreme environments. its primary focus is the environment that exists during space flight but also encompasses any non-standard environment or condition on earth. the purpose is to create a field of study that will solve problems before they arise as we explore beyond our atmosphere and to apply those discoveries to situations here on earth. extreme poverty, disability, isolation, extreme temperature, as well as so many other areas of studies are relevant to issues in space as we move out and attempt colonization.
