J5 Air Quality and Public Health Decisions with Earth Observations II - Applications

Tuesday, 30 January 2024: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
344 (The Baltimore Convention Center)
Host: 15th Conference on Environment and Health
Cochairs:

Communities across the globe tackle complex challenges relating to environmental health topics, including mitigating poor air quality, enhancing infectious disease preparedness, reinforcing national health system response, and how these topics are impacted by our consistently changing environment. Significant advancements have been achieved by incorporating the use of remotely sensed and other geospatial Earth data and technologies into their research applications but are increasingly important to integrate into decision-making frameworks within air quality and public health sectors. Through this session, we encourage submissions that describe research applications of multidisciplinary teams that incorporate Earth observations to advance existing knowledge about our changing planet. Possible topics can include, but are not limited to, environmental health risk assessments, research connected with current and future NASA missions, and community engagement with citizen science activities, in efforts to propel scientific advancements that improve health decision-making at local, national, and international levels.
