Fall 2022
Dissemination of research results is an integral part of CARE as it will help our communities learn more about air quality issues through the scientific method and plan strategies to address them. It is also an excellent opportunity for students to contribute to the community by sharing their research results from the community's data.
In Fall 2022 CARE Cohort 2022 shared the results of their research on air pollution with public through presentation slides and posters. Students presented to the Southeast Environmental Task Force, the Edgewater Environmental Coalition, and representatives of the organizations or households hosting the PurpleAir sensors as well as to the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting 2022.
Presentations to the Community
Presentation to Southeast Environmental Task Force (SETF): Students presented their work virtually to SETF on September 19, 2022.
Presentation to Edgewater Environmental Coalition (EEC): Students presented their work to EEC in posters on October 1, 2022.
