NASA ARSET: Landslide Monitoring and Risk Assessment Using NASA Earth System Data
Start Date:
March 25, 2025
End Date:
March 27, 2025
Description:
This two-part training will focus on describing and accessing remote sensing observations useful as water quality indicators of waterborne diseases, and will present case studies where remote sensing data are used to assess the likelihood of cholera outbreaks.
Targeted Audience:
Water quality management agencies including domestic and international government agencies, drinking water utilities, stormwater and wastewater managers, aid organizations, indigenous communities, students, and academics.
Expected Outcomes:
By the end of this training attendees will be able to:
1. Identify the factors that affect the presence of microbial contaminants in water, leading to waterborne diseases in which satellite remote sensing can improve risk assessment.
2. Identify Earth observations used for monitoring key environmental factors relevant for assessing the presence of contaminants in drinking and recreational waters and risk of waterborne disease outbreaks.
3. Recognize how satellite observations are integrated with in situ water quality data to develop risk assessment models for waterborne diseases such as Cholera.
