Blue Health Watch: Remote Sensing for Monitoring Water Quality and Climate-Sensitive Disease Risks
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Climate change increasingly threatens water security and public health through degraded water quality and rising disease risks. This seminar explores how remote sensing technologies—such as Landsat, Sentinel-2, and MODIS—can monitor key water quality indicators including turbidity, chlorophyll-a, and surface temperature. By linking satellite data with health surveillance, the Blue Health Watch framework offers a low-cost, scalable approach for predicting outbreaks of waterborne and climate-sensitive diseases. The session highlights how integrating Earth observation, machine learning, and public health data can enhance early-warning systems and strengthen climate-resilient health strategies in Australia and the Indo-Pacific region.
