Carbon dioxide levels rose at record pace for 2nd straight year
March 13, 2017
Outcome:
Lidar observations during dust and smoke events have been highlighted in UMBC's daily diary of US air quality, the UMBC Smog Blog ( http://alg.umbc.edu/usaq). In addition, CLN list server continues to be supported (cln@lists.umbc.edu). This electronic mail distribution list allows an immediate communication between CREST institutions, state and federal agencies prior and during air quality events. A total of 13 UMBC CREST funded students (10 undergrads and 3 graduates) have benefitted from these activities since 2014. Intercampus recruitment activities by Theme II faculty, include active participation of students and faculty at the UPRM Career fair, and professional meetings as AMS, SHPE, etc. UMBC (Dr. Ruben Delgado) has participated with CCNY and HU faculty in NSF (CCNY, P.I. Dr, Jorge Gonzalez, “Science and Technology Center for Human and Environmental Implications of Coastal/Urban Environment Flows) and NASA (HU, P.I. Dr. William Moore, “Hampton University Center for Atmospheric Research and Education”) proposal calls. Publications listed from joint CLN activities are listed below:
Future:
Continuation of concerted lidar operations among sites and pursue funding opportunities within NOAA and state and federal agencies in need for remote sensing observations of meteorological, energy and air quality parameters for improvements of forecasts, as well as to educate the next generation of STEM students.
