HAQAST 2 | Hosted by the University of Washington at the Hotel Deca, Seattle
Our February 2017 meeting included presentations and discussions on the role of NASA data in health and air quality applications. The line-up included new research results, perspectives of professionals in the health and air quality communities, examples of earth science data for decision-making applications, and discussion of the barriers and opportunities in linking NASA Earth Science with health and air quality users and needs. See below for the full agenda.
HAQAST2 was organized to build dialogue between members the HAQAST research team and organizations related to health and air quality, including local/state/federal agencies, businesses, non-profits, educators, and other organizations.
