relevant survey prevalence data. We georeferenced 6948 survey locations and entered the data into the open-access Global Neglected Tropical Diseases database. Survey data were sparse for the south of the continent
Europe-wide high-spatial resolution air pollution models are improved by including traffic flow estimates on all roads (Publications)
Europe-wide air pollution models. We built separate random forests (RF) models for different road types in OpenStreetMap (highway, primary, secondary and tertiary, and residential roads). We collected observations
