Climate Change and Health Impacts: Using Satellite Data to Assess the Relationship Between Climate Factors, Water Quality, and Infectious Diseases in Chile
The document outlines a project in Chile's Maipo and Mapocho river basins that integrates satellite imagery, climate data, and water samples from 2019 to 2023 to identify high-risk areas for Salmonella. It highlights that while spectral indices from satellite data can identify risk areas during high water variability, prolonged droughts and a lack of microbiological data hinder the creation of operational models. The brief emphasizes that inter-institutional coordination gaps prevent scientific findings from translating into public policy.
