Mumbai Air Quality Short Course

This wiki is devoted to the preparation of Air Quality Short Course at Indian Instiute of Technology Bombay Mumbai, December 6 and 7, 2012

An air quality short course will be organized by McDonnell Academy Global Energy and Environment Partnership in collaboration with India Air Quality Resource Group and ESIP Air Quality Work Group. The course is intended for air quality managers and members of academia interested in air quality analyses for more effective mitigation of air pollution. A specific goal of this course is capacity building for assessing the nature and sources of air pollution with focus on particulate matter.

First day is devoted to technical topics and to provide attendees with practical, "take home" data resources, tools and methods. Topics include: Air quality data sources, analyses tools and methods; Spatial and temporal patterns; Integration of multi-sensory data and models; use cases for India. On the second day, broader aspects of air quality will be covered: Educational modules, special research areas, international activities. A higher level panel discussion of practitioners will be a forum to highlight the outstanding needs of air quality management. In response to these needs, action items will include charting a three year calendar for collaborative education and research.
