Periodic Reporting for period 1 - GLANCE (calculatinG heaLth impActs of atmospheric pollutioN in a Changing climatE)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2015-07-01 al 2017-06-30
This project is a multidisciplinary approach which brings together leading experts from natural sciences and socioeconomic fields. GLANCE benefits the European community by contributing a novel approach to assess impacts of air quality at the local and regional levels, thus benefiting to long running EU commitments, while exploring new pathways for exploiting earth observational data.
Results and presentations have been presented on the state of the project at various conferences and to a broader audience, including poster and oral presentation as well as invited talks.
In terms of gains of knowledge and developing of scientific toolkits, the novel aspects of the research to be carried out in the framework of GLANCE are to provide impact assessments driven by earth observation data rather than models relying only on inventories and/or dispersion calculations from point measurements; Timeliness, as the projects started at the same time as MACC project series transitioned to operational products in the frame of CAMS; yields impact assessments on a European scale where it meets·specific needs and problems at European and international level. And last but not least it provides important information to the general audience, and can be applied directly by the scientific community as well as policy and decision makers.
