CENSAT Agua Viva
CENSAT Agua Viva (Centro Nacional Salud, Ambiente y Trabajo) is a Colombian environmental justice organization working alongside communities, social movements, and grassroots organizations to defend territories, promote environmental justice, and advance alternatives to extractive development models. It is particularly known for supporting communities affected by mining, fossil fuel extraction, large infrastructure projects, and environmental degradation. The organization promotes territorial autonomy, climate justice, community-led environmental governance, agroecology, and a just socio-environmental transition.
The MethaneSAT Mission: a non-governmental satellite to measure methane emissions
Mark Omara
Mark Omara is a Senior Scientist with MethaneSAT, where he works on advancing the measurement and analysis of methane emissions using satellite observations, atmospheric science, and data-driven monitoring approaches. His research focuses on methane emissions quantification, greenhouse-gas monitoring, atmospheric measurements, and climate-change mitigation. He has extensive experience in developing and applying scientific methods to detect, measure, and verify methane emissions from sources such as oil and gas operations, landfills, and agricultural activities.
