Mark Cresswell

Mark is a senior lecturer in the Department of Environmental and Geographical Sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University and is the MSc Co-ordinator for UNIGIS.

He obtained his PhD at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) where he specialised in forecasting meningitis and malaria epidemics using climate forecasts and remote sensing. He previously worked for MALSAT - a specialised research group at LSTM that uses remote sensing and GIS tools for mapping disease risk in Africa.

He has ongoing research links with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine; is a consultant to WHO – Roll Back Malaria Initiative and is an academic consultant for the Health Geography programme (Free University, Amsterdam).
