GEO Health Community of Practice Telecon (March 2021)

The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Health Community of Practice is pleased to host the next community teleconference on Tuesday, March 30th from 8:30AM-10AM EDT (GMT-4). During this meeting, there will be three invited presentations. First, Marjan Van Meerloo (European Commission) will provide an overview of the European Commission’s Early Warning for Epidemics Prize. Second, Antar Jutla (University of Florida) will highlight findings from his research project, “Earth Observations Inspired Prediction of Risk of Airborne Infectious Pathogens: A Curious Case of COVID-19”. Finally, Ben Zaitchik (Johns Hopkins University) will provide an update from his research that aims to harmonize Earth observation datasets with COVID-19 cases. He will also offer insight on the new report by the WMO COVID-19 Task Team. We hope that these presentations focusing on COVID-19 research applications will continue to strengthen our scientific networks!
