Our new Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities paper ERL led by allisarah is finally published! Spatiotemporal descriptive results from a large-scale high resolution measurement campaign of PM2.5 and #BlackCarbon in the city of #Accra, #Ghana

Stepped outside of academic writing to write a feature article for a newspaper in Ghana with Raphael E Arku, ScD allisarah and others at the University of Ghana on #noisepollution in #Accra

Hey #ISEE2021 ! Come join me and the Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities group tomorrow for an exciting Symposium (15) on Pathways to Healthy and Equitable Cities - results from Vancouver, London, Accra, Beijing in Hall 3 19:00 EST Jill Baumgartner Theo Rashid allisarah Raphael E Arku, ScD Honor Bixby

Hey #ISEE2021 attendees, if you are interested in #streetview imagery collected over space and time and #deeplearning methods to characterise #urban environments and activities, head over to poster P-098 ! Ricky Nathvani Emily Muller allisarah Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities

Hey #ISEE2021 if you missed allisarah and my presentation in Symposium 15 on #spatiotemporal modelling and #inequalities if air and #noise pollution in #Accra, the recording is now available! Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities

Worked on this paper for >3 yrs so happy it is published! We modelled & predicted BP & BMI for 10% of all women in #Accra Ghana & mapped trends at the small-area level within the city to assess #inequalities using #bayesian spatial models 🧵Raphael E Arku, ScD Günther Fink

Can #streetviewimagery predict #airpollution in #London, #Vancouver & NYC? Are these models transferable to Hong Kong & #Accra? Esra Suel & co from Imperial School of Public Health University of British Columbia NASA et al answer these Qs in new paper mdpi.com/2072-4292/14/1…. Happy to have contributed a small part to this 🧵

Latest paper from my PhD at Imperial School of Public Health with Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities has been published on spatial modelling of environmental #noise in #Accra Ghana. We also looked at how noise exposures were patterned unequally across the city by neighbourhood SES 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Despite data limitations we use indirect estimation techniques to show to show different facets of deprivation in #Accra –economic status, child mortality, and water access #UrbanHealth

Sierra Clark presents on the why and how of sensor network operation and data for mapping air and noise pollution, with lessons learned from Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities work in Accra, Ghana #PathwaysICUH #ICUH22

There is no one size fits all approach to designing and implementing a sensor network, and it must be designed with the local context in mind #PathwaysICUH #ICUH22

In #Accra, Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities implemented a large-sensor network to gather data on air pollution, urban sounds, meteorology, and street-view #imagery (for #pollution source identification) implemented over 1 year in 2019/2020. Core sites from the network are still running today.

New paper alert! What we can see in the urban environment around us provides a wealth of information on social, environmental & mobility factors impacting urban health. But these visual cues are currently an untapped resource🏙️ Sierra Clark Ricky Nathvani nature.com/articles/s4159…

🚨🚨🚨Bringing this to the attention of my friends & colleagues who are international PhD students! 📆 JULY 20 - 7 PM Beirut time📣 This is the 2nd installment of our webinar series, EPILOG. Meet our panelists, sign up, and plz RT and share with friends who might be interested!
