This is a $185,502.15 cooperative agreement award to the Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project to leverage citizen science and low-cost air quality sensors to improve NASA's satellite-derived fine particulate matter (PM2.5) monitoring capabilities. The project aims to collect spatially dense, high-quality PM2.5 data from citizen scientists in three regions representing low, moderate, and high PM2.5 levels. This...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State) supports research to improve surface particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution modeling using satellite remote sensing data. The $89,250.78 grant aims to develop methods for linking aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements from high-spectral-resolution lidar (HSRL) with the chemical composition of PM2.5 as modeled by the Environmental Protection Agency's Community...
This is a $139,288.62 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for research to develop tools and methods to extract and interpret city-level particulate matter (PM2.5) monitoring and forecast data from NASA satellite and model data, making this information more accessible to the public and end-users. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. USRA has extensive experience supporting...
This is a $1,607,640 Cooperative Agreement awarded by NASA to the non-profit Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) to collect and analyze data from low-cost air quality sensors deployed by citizen scientists in three regions (Raleigh, Los Angeles, and Delhi) to improve the ability to estimate fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations from satellite aerosol measurements. The goal is to enhance the value of NASA's Earth science data products for monitoring air quality near the...
