Daven Henze is an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His research focuses on the role that atmospheric constituents such as ozone, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (aerosols) play in local air quality, long range pollution transport, and climate change.
Daven’s HAQAST project will expand upon previous work providing remote-sensing and model-based estimates of exposure and health-impact response coefficients to the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) of the United Nations Environment Programme. For our core project, we will continue to strengthen the applicability and scope of LEAP-IBC through updates to the remote sensing observations and modeling framework used in the toolkit. We will implement new multi-satellite fusion constraints on surface-level PM2.5 from CALIPSO, MISR, MODIS and SeaWiFS directly into LEAP-IBC for improved accuracy and km-scale evaluation of air pollution exposure.
In addition, he is contributing to the following Tiger Teams:
- Satellite-Evaluated and Satellite-Informed O3 Distributions for Estimating US Background O3, led by Jessica Neu
- Supporting the Use of Satellite Data in Regional Haze Planning, led by Arlene Fiore.
- Using Satellite Remote Sensing to Derive Global Climate and Air Pollution Indicators, led by Susan Anenberg.
- Air Quality and Health Burden of 2017 California Wildfires, led by Susan O’Neill.
- Demonstration of the Efficacy of Environmental Regulations in the Eastern US, led by Bryan Duncan and Jason West.
- Supporting the Use of Satellite Data in State Implementation Plans (SIPS), led by Arlene Fiore.
- High Resolution Particulate Matter Data for Improved Satellite-Based Assessments of Community Health, led by Patrick Kinney.
- Improved National Emissions Inventory NOx Emissions Using OMI Tropospheric NO2 Retrievals and Potential Impacts on Air Quality Strategy Development, led by Brad Pierce and Daniel Tong.
