Satellite Derived Annual PM2.5 Data Sets in Support of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Recently, annual mean PM2.5 maps have been developed using MODIS, MISR, and SeaWiFS observations from 1998-2015 and have been used by organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Greenpeace, to assess global air quality and health impacts. In this webinar, participants will learn how to use this database to analyze PM2.5 over cities using satellite observations. This training will cover accessing the data, analyzing long-term trends, and combining PM2.5 and population data sets to understand long-term exposure.
There will be three online sessions in this course, 15, 22 and 29 March. Sessions will be broadcast twice per day to allow for international participation. Times will be as follows: 11:00-12:00 p.m. and 8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT (UTC-4).
A certificate of completion will be provided to participants that attend the live webinars and complete all prerequisites and homework assignments.
