GEOS-Chem is an open?source global 3?D chemical transport model used to simulate atmospheric composition, including gases and aerosols, and their chemistry, transport, and deposition. The website provides documentation, installation and run instructions, tutorials, model version information, input datasets, and links to the user community and developer resources. Researchers use it to run simulations for air quality, climate, and biogeochemical cycling studies, and to contribute improvements back to the shared codebase.
Mapping tool providing information on overburdened communities in New Jersey, as well as information on environmental and public health stressors, and locations of emitting facilities, along with information about violations and incidents.
Website providing case studies and resources related to screening assessments of community air quality concerns.
Website providing access to resources and funding sources for air quality programs in California. Some of the funding resources are also applicable to other states.
Website for the South Carolina Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program. Provides an example of how to structure a subaward program to fund local projects using US Department of Energy funds.
Utah website to access funding opportunities for air quality projects. Provides a good example of how to set up a resource that can be used by individuals, companies, or local governments to access information about grants, rebates, tax credits, and financing for local projects.
Repository for the Simple Interactive Models for better air quality set of tools. These tools demonstrate fundamental equations to calculate, visualize, and interpret air emissions and pollution. The tools are intended to make links between emissions, pollution dispersion, impacts, and potential solutions more accessible to a wider set of stakeholders. The tools include models as well as primers on different air quality topics.
Report containing tools to equip development finance institution project officers and portfolio managers with information to design projects that generate air quality benefits. It includes basic information on air quality and health impacts, and ways to integrate air quality in investment decisions. The goal is to increase the volume and types of financing available for air quality programs.
EPA’s MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is a state-of-the-science emission modeling system that estimates emissions for mobile sources at the national, county, and project level for criteria air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and air toxics.
