About this award
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, received a $754,715 research grant from a civilian federal agency to develop comprehensive global surface ozone concentration mapping from 1990 to 2022. The project, titled "Mapping Global Surface Ozone Concentrations Through Data Fusion of Satellite and Ground Observations with Models for Informing Management of Global Health and Agricultural Impacts," addresses critical gaps in understanding ground-level ozone's impacts on human health, agricultural productivity, and natural ecosystems. The research will integrate satellite observations, ground-based measurements, and atmospheric chemistry models using advanced data fusion techniques and machine learning to produce monthly ozone estimates at higher temporal resolution. Notably, the work will incorporate new satellite data sources (IASI+GOME2, TES+OMI, and TEMPO) to estimate ground-level ozone in previously unmonitored regions, particularly in densely populated and agriculturally productive areas of low- and middle-income nations where ozone concentrations are increasing.
The grant supports the delivery of global monthly estimates of multiple ozone metrics relevant to both human mortality and crop productivity, including flux-based metrics for individual crops. UNC-CH will employ geostatistical data fusion combined with machine learning approaches and regional nonlinear bias corrections to improve ozone estimates in areas lacking ground monitors. Estimates will be timed to match local growing seasons, enabling end users to better assess health and agricultural impacts of ground-level ozone pollution. The contract carries no set-aside designation and has a performance period extending through May 31, 2026. This research grant aligns with federal environmental and public health priorities in understanding and managing air quality impacts on vulnerable populations globally.
