Connecting NASA Data and Tools with Health and Air Quality Stakeholders
“Science fields offer a lot of great jobs and opportunities, so my goal is just to keep the door open to science for as many people as possible.” -Tracey Holloway Tracey Holloway was interviewed for OnlineEdcuation.com’s Women Breaking Barriers series. This series highlights many women that are trailblazers in their respective fields. Click here to …

“Each year, millions of people die from exposure to air pollution. And if unaddressed, climate change could bring those numbers up even higher by the end of the century.” Click here to read more from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s feature, Well Said: “Climate change and air pollution.” HAQAST member Jason West …
““Out of sight, out of mind” goes the common saying, yet what people can’t see can have an important impact on their well-being. Invisible gases including nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone negatively affect human health, and satellites offer the best means of tracking those atmospheric pollutants. NASA maintains the world’s largest constellation of …
“The USA will benefit from improved air quality in the future, through actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions both domestically and globally. That is the primary finding of new research led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), published today in the journal Environmental Research Letters. It comes following the decision by …
“Severe air pollution causes the premature death of more than 5.5 million people per year, according to news reports. Mark Zondlo, the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment’s associate director for external partnerships and associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Princeton University, develops tools to measure air pollution in more sophisticated and …
Ozone pollution near Earth’s surface is one of the main ingredients of summertime smog and a primary cause of poor air quality. Yet it is not directly measurable from space because of the abundance of ozone higher in the atmosphere, which obscures measurements of surface ozone. Now NASA-funded researchers have devised a way to use …
Susan Anenberg, Daven Henze, and the authors of the Nature paper on diesel NOx emissions recently gave a webinar on their findings, which was recorded and posted to YouTube. Check out the full webinar here. Click here for more information on their paper.
HAQAST investigator Brad Pierce’s work on high-ozone events over Lake Michigan was recently profiled by NASA. “NASA researchers are conducting science flights along the Wisconsin-Illinois Lake Michigan shoreline to help better understand the formation and transport of ozone, a potent air pollutant in the region. The flights are part of the Lake Michigan Ozone Study …
