Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing for Health Monitoring

Predicting and monitoring disease outbreaks and environmental health events are vitally important to public health and safety. NASA Earth Science resources can benefit decision-makers looking to apply remote sensing data within the health community.

This introductory webinar course will provide an overview of environmental parameters available from NASA Earth Science useful for monitoring and predicting health for decision support. There are many different data sets and sources from different satellite missions, sensors and models, and sessions will outline their features, strengths and limitations. It will also cover easily accessible NASA data, web-based tools, analysis, visualization and examples of data usage.
