July 18 - 22, 2011 Workshop

The goal of this workshop is to engage Dine College students with a science interest in atmospheric science problem solving, both locally on the reservation and globally. As such, the workshop covered climate change and renewable energy as well as air quality problems and novel measurement tools that could help interested people explore their own air quality. To the right is a photo from thursday afternoon of the workshop, just after the Dine students, all from the Dine Environmental Institute Science Pathway Program, walked around the CU campus practicing their new ability to be air quality detectives. These tools were developed under NSF support and are part of the MAQS (Mobile Air Quality Sensing System). Notice Joachim wearing his new detective tool, an M-Pod. After the workshop, five M-Pods are headed back to Shiprock, Tsaile, and Black Mesa and we are all very curious to learn what the new air quality detectives learn.
