Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing for Health Monitoring

This introductory webinar series provides a brief overview of some of the fundamentals essential to understanding the remote sensing process, data products, and their use in air quality applications. Completion of this training is a requirement for anyone wishing to attend one of the upcoming air quality in-person workshops.

Participants will become familiar with satellite orbits, types, resolutions, sensors and processing levels. In addition to a conceptual understanding of remote sensing, attendees will also be able to articulate its advantages and disadvantages. Participants will also have a basic understanding of NASA satellites, sensors, data, tools, portals and applications to environmental monitoring and management.

This three part webinar series shares the training best practices used by NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET). The skills taught in this webinar will enable participants to develop their own online or face-to-face remote sensing trainings for their organization or community of practice.

Attendees will: 

Become familiar with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the satellite observations of air quality that are used to calculate indicators 3.9.1 and 11.6.2

Learn about PM2.5 estimates made using satellite, surface, and model data sets

Understand how to use the 2014 WHO data set and access the indicator data for a city or country
