DEVELOP Science Projects Lifecycle1. Identify Need 2. Partnerships 3. Conduct Project 5. Expand
Recognition4. Present Results
1. Work with scientists and Applied Sciences program managers to identify needs and establish project
2. Establish partnerships
3. Conduct Earth science projects with science advisor mentorship
4. Present results at national/international science forums
5. Expanded recognition of the societal benefits of the Applied Sciences Program

Aerosol Climatology• Community Concerns
– International efforts to monitor transboundary air pollution– Transport, magnitude and composition of aerosols– Impacts of increased industrialization on air quality – Impacts of air quality policy implementation and progress in prediction,
prevention, and control of poor air quality
• Purpose– This project evaluates the potential of MODIS data to assess transboundary
aerosol trends in support of the 1991 US-Canada Air Quality Agreement
• Partners– Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)– Environment Canada– National Park Service (NPS)

Rapid Prototyping Products
• MODIS AOD in standard CHRONOS grid, 21 x 21 km
• Correlation analysis of AERONET and regridded MODIS AOD
• Trends analysis of MODIS AOD over the US-Canada border region for the years 2000-2006
• Trends analysis of ground PM2.5/10 over the US-Canada border region for years 2000-2006
Value & Benefits
• Long term aerosol climatologic record for transboundary aerosol trends analyses
• Convey utility of MODIS AOD for analysis of air quality policy impacts over time.

Applications of Environmental Remote Sensing to Air Quality & Public Health
Workshop May 8-9, 2007
• Action Item: “State of Knowledge” paper
• DEVELOP literature review: a foundation
• Sundar Christopher and Pawan Gupta: “State of Knowledge” table, review and contributions to the air quality aspects
• Call for public health review and contributions
• Internal review panel needed
