Session 6 New Directions for Satellite Data: Applications in Health, Air Quality, Environmental Management, and Public Outreach

Wednesday, 9 January 2019: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
North 228AB (Phoenix Convention Center - West and North Buildings)
Host: 10th Conference on Environment and Health
Cochairs:
Michael Newchurch, Univ. of Alabama in Huntsville, 320 Sparkman Dr, Huntsville, AL; Tracey Holloway, Univ. of Wisconsin−Madison, Nelson Institute/SAGE, Madison, WI; Susan Alexander, Univ. of Alabama in Huntsville, College of Nursing, Huntsville, AL and Yang Liu, Emory Univ., Rollins School of Public Health, Atlanta, GA

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 public stakeholders throughout the globe. While NASA satellite data and tools are freely available and accessible via the web, the full, transformative possibilities of satellites have been limited due to potential users’ lack of knowledge regarding data access and utility. This interdisciplinary panel will curate and discuss a wide suite of data and products from satellites, including TEMPO, MAIA, TROPOMI, SENTINAL 4, GEMS, AQUA, and TERRA. We will discuss both historical uses of  satellite data and its potential for use in applications designed to further the aims of public health, air quality, and environmental groups (including those focused on environmental justice). Finally, the panel will share strategies for engaging the public.
