About
Environmental health tracking through sensor networks has become a crucial tool in monitoring and addressing various environmental issues, including pollution, resource depletion, and climate change. This program introduces participants to the advanced technologies behind sensor networks, including IoT (Internet of Things), data analytics, and real-time environmental monitoring systems. Participants will explore how sensor networks are deployed to track air and water quality, hazardous emissions, and environmental changes across diverse ecosystems, providing valuable insights for public health and environmental sustainability.
Through practical labs and case studies, participants will learn how to design, implement, and manage sensor networks for environmental health tracking. Topics such as data collection, integration of sensors, network architecture, and data interpretation will be covered, along with ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks. By the end of the program, participants will be well-prepared to contribute to environmental monitoring projects using cutting-edge sensor technologies.
