Arlene Fiore, the Peter H. Stone and Paola Malanotte Stone Professor at EAPS, is studying the way air pollutants move through the environment and how long they last. But she isn’t stopping there: she’s also making sure her research is available for other agencies to use so they can incorporate climate policy into their own work.
“What we found is that small tweaks in, for example, the metrics we use to convey the science findings, can go a long way to making the science more usable, especially when there are detailed policy frameworks in place that must be followed,” says Fiore. Read more here:

Understanding air pollution from space MIT Professor Arlene Fiore uses satellite data paired with ground observations to refine our understanding of ozone smog and interactions with meteorology and climate.
