Advancing environmental measurement for informed climate decision-making

GEMM is the receipiant of a 2024 Sustainability Action Fund Grant to install a green house gas and air quality monitoring device to measure CO2, NO, NO2, O3, CO and PM2.5 in real-time. The data will be publicly available and can be used to increase visibility of the impact of air quality on climate and health or allow deeper engagement with climate data through student projects and research.

A one-day interdisciplinary workshop was held on Oct. 1st 2024, hosted by the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology, for scientists to identify challenges measuring the environment and explore ways sensing technologies can close those gaps.
