NASA atmospheric scientists and the SERVIR program are working to help keep communities breathing easy in the Hindu Kush and Himalayan mountain ranges.
SERVIR-HKH has developed the Air Quality Explorer for the HKH using freely available satellite data and the Google Earth Engine platform. The application allows visualization of three atmospheric parameters — nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) — for any chosen period and location.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has been implementing the SERVIR-HKH Initiative — one of five regional hubs of the SERVIR network — in its Regional Member Countries, prioritizing capacity building and science activities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan.
