The HAQAST Public Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah will be October 19th and 20th, 2023. Check back at this page for more details.
The Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team (HAQAST) works to connect NASA satellite data and products with public health experts and air quality managers. Our team of 14 PIs and 70+ total collaborating investigators has grown to support and serve hundreds of organizations across the U.S. and around the world. Our public meetings are opportunities to grow these two-way dialogues in which stakeholders share their research needs and priorities, and scientists share their resources, insights, and new discoveries.
HAQAST Utah will cover a range of topics on air quality, public health, environmental justice, satellite data, and more! Check back at this page as more updates become available.
