HAQAST Missouri
The Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team (HAQAST) works to connect NASA satellite data and products with public health experts and air quality managers. Our team of 14 PIs and 70+ total collaborating investigators has grown to support and serve hundreds of organizations across the U.S. and around the world. Our public meetings are opportunities to grow these two-way dialogues in which stakeholders share their research needs and priorities, and scientists share their resources, insights, and new discoveries.
HAQAST Missouri was held in St. Louis, Missouri, April 18-19, 2023 at the Knight Center on the Washington University Campus. In this public meeting we discussed environmental justice, new NASA missions, satellite-derived PM2.5, ground-level ozone, climate change and heat, health impacts of air pollution, and more!
This meeting was an opportunity for sharing updates and new results, networking, and discussion.
