Why?
| Project Objective: | AirGeo's objective is to involve the citizen in monitoring his or her environment, especially the quality of ambient air, at a low cost and with a low impact on the environment. Such a technique must also rely on the potential of high-resolution mapping. AirGeo's objective is to produce a synthesis of emissions related to different mining, heavy metal recycling and traffic activities in various contexts by creating a network of transdisciplinary academic and nonacademic actors ranging from geology to social sciences |
| Call Objective: | The goal of this CRA is to provide a science base for achieving sustainability goals. The CRA will support 1-2 years of collaborative research networking activities that focus on integrated qualitative and quantitative approaches to develop Earth-system-based transformation pathways for sustainable development. |
