Obama Administration Releases Metadata Access Tool for Climate and Health (MATCH)

In 2009, I published a Gratitude Gourmet post describing NIH & Lancet studies addressing Public Health Impacts of Climate Change.

The Obama Administration has released the Metadata Access Tool for Climate and Health (MATCH), a publicly accessible, online tool for researchers offering access to metadata about thousands of government-held datasets related to health, the environment, and climate-science. MATCH includes:

• Monitoring and surveillance data sets
• Early warning systems
• Tools for characterizing the health impacts of global climate change
