NASA HAQAST: Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team
0
NASA’s Applied Science Program launched the threeyear HAQAST team in the fall of 2016. We are a group of thirteen air quality and public health scientists led by Dr. Tracey Holloway at the University of WisconsinMadison. Though HAQAST is headquartered at UWMadison, its members are spread across the U.S., in government offices and public and private universities.
Our interests are both focused – we use NASA satellite data to help solve realworld public health and air quality problems – and diverse: we work all around the world on issues from wildfire smoke to diesel emissions. We collaborate with public stakeholders, who help guide our research. We also pursue shortterm, highimpact projects in small groups called Tiger Teams.
Ultimately, our goal is to use NASA’s data and satellites to pursue cutting edge applied research in order to keep you healthy and safe.
