Satellites at the Intersection of Health and Air Quality: Seeing What You Breathe and Understanding Disease Exposures: NASA Earth Observation Systems and Applications for Public Health, Air Quality, Environmental Management, and Public Outreach

Session ID#: 78469

Session Description:
Novel applications of satellite data are advancing the fields of public health, air quality, and environmental management, as well as increasing the impact of public outreach and partnerships between scientists and stakeholders. Novel applications of satellite data offer a unique vantage point for the imaginative investigator to understand and communicate the geographic, environmental, and meteorological differences in how extreme events affect the public.

 

This interdisciplinary panel will curate and discuss a wide suite of satellite data, products, and applications, including GOES, TEMPO, MAIA, TROPOMI, SENTINAL 4, GEMS, AQUA, and TERRA, with an emphasis on how theses satellite data products can help shape research in solutions for health concerns.

 

We will discuss historical uses of satellite data and its potential for use in applications designed to further the aims of public health, air quality, and environmental health. Finally, the panel will share strategies for engaging the public.
