IAS Professor Santiago Lopez publishes book chapter on air pollution and Earth observation technologies

IAS Professor Santiago Lopez published a book chapter in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Augsburg and the Salesian Polytechnic University examining the use of Earth observation technologies to assess air quality risks to society. The chapter highlights satellite remote sensing as a powerful tool for monitoring air pollution, particularly in regions with limited ground-based data, and explores its application during critical events such as wildfires, volcanic eruptions, social upheavals, and public health crises.
