Sneeze and Wheeze in a Low Earth Orbit: Forecasting Pollen from Space

Pollen allergies impose a substantial disease burden, and the pollen season in the US is lengthening due to climate change. Unfortunately, the pollen sensor network is somewhat sparse—but weather data can be used to estimate pollen concentrations in places without sensors. Professor Jeremy Hess and his team have developed new, higher performing pollen forecasts for the US that can help protect public health—from space!—and this webinar will detail these new pollen forecasts.
