Project Title:
Climate-Air Quality Linkages
Sponsoring Office:
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards
Project Overview:
Changes in air quality and climate are linked through interactions in the atmosphere and can have impacts on human and ecosystem health. To effectively address these impacts, it is necessary to understand the interactions among global climate, air quality, and regional climate, and to consider in a more integrated and holistic way the linkages with air pollution control programs. The selected fellow will design and implement a research project that furthers the knowledge base of these climate-air quality linkages and related policy issues. Specifically, the fellow will investigate the potential impacts of changing meteorology on the national ambient air quality standards (for example, by investigating the changing nature and quantity of affected emissions or atmospheric processes). The fellow will meet with experts across EPA — including those in the Office of Air and Radiation and the Office of Research and Development — government, and experts in academia to gather relevant peer-reviewed data and literature and to conduct policy-relevant analysis.
Project Goals:
The fellow will gain critical insight into the state of the science and potential policy applications of that science, and be exposed to a range of federal research and policy perspectives.
Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will develop a final report and presentation summarizing the state of the science on the climate-air quality topic.
Project Location:
EPA Region 4, Research Triangle Park, NC

Office Mission/Responsibility
Recognizing the global and transboundary nature of air pollution and its impacts, the Global/International Team works to improve air quality in the United States and around the globe by leading efforts to build capacity in developing countries to manage and improve air quality; working in partnership with agencies, governments, and organizations on international treaties and actions to address transboundary air pollution; promoting an understanding of long-range transboundary air pollution and advancing air pollution science in the global context; and promoting public participation in and access to air pollution data and related public health information.
