NASA Research Project at the Institute for Earth Observations

John Moore, Executive Director of the Institute for Earth Observations (IEO), recently took part in the National Ozone Garden Network workshop at the University Center for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. The event brought together educators and researchers from across the country to explore new ways of studying air quality and to practice hands-on methods for collecting accurate data.

This national project is supported by NASA, UCAR, the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, and NASA’s TEMPO satellite mission, which tracks air quality from space. By joining this effort, IEO connects its work at the Cove with a larger community of scientists studying how our atmosphere is changing.

Through this partnership, IEO continues its mission of combining local observations in its Outdoor Laboratory with satellite technology to better understand Earth’s environment. Teachers, students, and community members are invited to get involved in the project and contribute to data collection here at the Cove.
