English: In many parts of the world, mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance. They spread diseases that kill nearly 2.7 million people a year. Now citizen scientists can use a NASA app to help those working to reduce mosquito-borne diseases.
NASA has introduced the Mosquito Habitat Mapper as part of its GLOBE Observer app for iPhone and Android. The app includes training, making it easy for anyone to use. The local, ground-based information collected about mosquito habitats will help NASA by providing information that supports satellite-based research of environmental conditions that can lead to outbreaks of mosquitoes. "Satellites don't see mosquitoes,” says Assaf Anyamba, a scientist using satellite data to study mosquitoes at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland. “However, satellites provide us observation platforms from which to monitor the environmental variables that indicate where mosquito populations can flourish. This helps us identify areas where disease can emerge.” Read more here: go.nasa.gov/2s3f174 Download the app here: observer.globe.gov/ |
