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.
Users of Collect Earth Online (CEO) around the world are taking advantage of a CEO feature called the Geo-Dash Degradation Tool that allows them to monitor forest degradation, a major source of carbon emissions.
SERVIR-HKH has developed land cover monitoring systems with a modular architecture built on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) computational platform.
