“Hémera” Earth Observation Center was created in 2017 to fill the need of pushing knowledge and innovation in remote sensing application and research through strategic alliances with public and private sector at both national and international level, to impulse and support the development of agriculture, forest management and conservation, mining industry, tourism, and energy sector, among others.
Researcher Paul Amouroux, faculty member at the Hémera Center of Universidad Mayor, has been awarded the Innovation + Entrepreneurship grant from ANID’s Ciencia 2030 program to lead the project “HEPiaspis: Entomopathogenic fungi for the biological control of pest scale insects”
Blanca Ríos, researcher at the Hémera Center, will lead an four-month innovative project aimed at designing and validating a low-cost system to measure indoor air quality in real time in households with different types of heating, such as wood stoves, kerosene heaters, and electric systems. The research seeks to evaluate the air quality of Chilean homes
Francisco Zambrano will develop a joint study with the Genomics and Bioinformatics Center (CGB) of the U. Mayor, which aims to determine the relationship between potential groundwater zones and the phenology of avocado and sclerophyllous forest in the Aconcagua River basin
