Integrating atmospheric and social approaches to improve urban air quality (AEROPOLIS)

Air Pollution and Urbanization
The NSF NCAR/ASP colloquium included lectures covering a broad view on air pollution questions in relation with urban development. The program integrated physical, chemical, social and policy aspects. It offered hands-on work for a detailed understanding of these issues in an interdisciplinary perspective.

Outcomes:
The participants to the NCAR/ASP symposium were introduced to several international projects as many of the members of the organizing committee are the co-chairs of international projects belonging to the IGAC (International Global Atmospheric Chemistry project: https://igacproject.org/), which is itself a project of Future Earth (https://futureearth.org/), a global network of scientists, researchers, and innovators collaborating for a more sustainable planet. Discussions organized as World Cafés took place during the colloquium, providing the students with a better understanding of implications of the participantion in national/international activities and organizations.

The students prepared StoryMaps using ArcGIS detailing what they learned in presentation about U.S. cities see below for the final presentations.
