In Mexico, researchers combine satellite and epidemiological data to spot areas missing air quality monitors, filling gaps and protecting more communities. @UAEM_MX

CanAIRy Alert gives 21 cities across the Global South access to bias-corrected NASA forecasts of air quality, turning advanced models into actionable local tools. @WorldResources

In Rio de Janeiro, scientists are building a sub-city-scale air quality forecast system. With satellite data and @googleearth Engine, local managers get sharper tools for early health warnings. @NASAGoddard @MorganStateU @Sonoma_Tech

Methane monitoring gets a boost in New Hampshire. Using Sentinel-5P & ISS EMIT, researchers are exploring how satellites can track emissions from landfills across the state. @NASA

In Texas, researchers combine satellite data with social vulnerability and health outcomes to identify communities most at risk from polluted air. A tool for fairer, healthier futures. @NASAAmes

Open data, open health. @OpenAQ makes global air quality data freely available via Explorer, API & SDKs, supporting researchers and communities tackling pollution impacts.

Plastic, currents and people’s health are linked. The Poseidon System uses AI and satellite data to track plastics, connect them to health risks and guide real protection for communities. @HSRHealth

In Panama and Honduras, satellite data is powering malaria early-warning systems. Predictive models help health teams prepare & respond faster in data-scarce regions. @DukeU
