COVIDMapping

COVIDMapping | A One Health Approach

A One Health Approach

Air pollution is a major global environmental health risk, causing an estimated seven million deaths across the globe annually. Your challenge is to take an interdisciplinary approach, using both Earth science and health science, and integrate different types of datasets and applications to study the effects of air pollution.

Summary

The objective of the COVIDMapping project is the dissemination of scientific information to people with the aim that they can inform themselves about the damage to health that SO2 and NO2 can cause, for this purpose on the web page cartographic information is shared online, maps and research collected of scientific journals. The user through the website can have an interactive and learning experience that in the future can reduce the risk of contagion by COVID-19.

How We Addressed This Challenge

A web page for the dissemination of scientific information was developed which allows

the user an interactive learning experience in which they can visualize and analyze online maps regarding COVID 19 cases and thus find out about the relationship that it has with SO2 and NO2, consequently reducing COVID 19 infections.

How We Developed This Project

The cases of COVID19 in Peru amount to 825,000 cases and 32,665 deaths. Consequently, it was necessary for people to be aware of the factors that could increase the causes of death due to COVID19.

The project's approach uses geospatial information represented in an interactive way through online and downloadable maps. Geographic information systems such as QGIS and html programming were used in the development of the website. The data was downloaded from the Google Earth Engine platform which corresponds to Sentinel-5P NRTI NO2: Near Real-Time Nitrogen Dioxide and Sentinel-5P NRTI SO2: Near Real-Time Sulphur Dioxide, provided by ESA Copernicus.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

ESA COPERNICUS data downloaded from the Google Earth Engine platform was used to facilitate the geoprocessing tasks.
