GMV teams up with +Atlantic CoLAB in AIR4Health project to enhance public health forecasting

Lisbon, Portugal (SPX) Jan 31, 2025

GMV, a leader in systems and services integration, has joined the AIR4Health project, an initiative spearheaded by +ATLANTIC CoLAB, a Portuguese non-profit R and D collaborative laboratory. The project aims to establish an operational service focused on public health, with GMV contributing its expertise in system integration and service deployment.

This new service will be hosted on the Destination Core Service Platform (DESP), managed by the European Space Agency (ESA) under the Destination Earth initiative. This marks the first instance of GMV engaging in a data twin project within the Earth Observation (EO) domain, representing a significant milestone for the company.

AIR4Health is a direct response to the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme temperatures in Portugal and Europe over recent decades. These climate events have led to rising mortality and morbidity rates while significantly worsening air quality, posing serious health and societal risks.

Within the project, GMV is responsible for automating the acquisition of input data sources to establish a robust processing chain. Additionally, the company will integrate algorithmic models via GMV Prodigi and deploy them within the DESP platform.

The primary objective of AIR4Health is to develop an early warning system that integrates climate and air quality data. This innovative prototype is being developed in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of scientists who have already showcased advanced methodologies for dynamically assessing health impacts.

Two key case studies will be conducted to evaluate the health consequences of environmental factors: one will explore the relationship between ozone levels and heat waves, while the other will assess the effects of nitrogen dioxide exposure during cold snaps. AIR4Health will leverage satellite data from ESA's Sentinel-5P and NASA's AURA, alongside additional complementary data sources, to carry out these studies.

Smouldering woody debris drives air pollution in the Amazon
Paris, France (SPX) Jan 29, 2025
A major study funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) has revealed that fire emissions in the Amazon and Cerrado regions are predominantly caused by the smouldering combustion of woody debris. This discovery underscores the critical role that fuel characteristics play in fire emissions, with implications for global carbon cycles, air quality, and biodiversity. The research addresses uncertainties in fire emission inventories by combining advanced Earth observation methods with innovative modelin ... read more
