Air Quality Data Management
The U. S. Department of Energy (NETL) has in the past several years funded a number of research projects targeted towards the characterization of fine particulate (PM2.5) and co pollutants present in ambient air along the Upper Ohio River Valley corridor. 这些研究产生了大量的数据集,这些数据集分布在不同的地点,发起人和感兴趣的利益相关者访问这些数据集的权限有限。 The Center in partnership with Advanced Technology Systems and Texas A&M-Kingsville is developing a comprehensive, computer-based system for integrating the ambient air quality data from the NETL funded projects and regional EPA sites and creating a publicly-available, user-friendly tool for accessing, displaying, analyzing and interpreting these air quality data utilized geographical information systems (GIS) and built in graphical interfaces.
Coal Combustion Products Data Management
The Center is working with The Ohio State University's Coal Combustion Products (CCP) Extension Program to provide a Web-based GIS and statistical analysis tools to evaluate the supply and demand of CCPs generated in the Eastern United States, thus assisting suppliers and consumers in optimal decision-making. The web enabled system will enable users to retrieve geographical information and data such as population numbers and demographics, land use and land cover, road pavement area measurements, optimized transportation routes, etc., based on selected geographical areas.
