CSC Workshop: Using Satellite Technology and AI to Map Air Pollutants in Ghana

​Air pollution from fine particulate matter is a leading cause of premature death, but many parts of the world lack the local data to accurately measure this particulate pollution. This workshop explores how satellite technology and artificial intelligence (AI) can fill this gap. 

Workshop participants will learn how to analyze satellite and ground sensor data collected by NASA and the European Space Agency and construct spatial maps of air pollutants. No experience with Python or geospatial data analysis is necessary — all majors and experience levels are welcome!

This workshop is taught by Abhishek Anand (Postdoctoral Research Scientist, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia Climate School, Columbia University).

This workshop is planned to take place in-person only (Milstein 516).

​​​​​​We look forward to seeing you there!
