Hi GAIA friends! I am launching a kickstarter campaign to fund a personal air quality monitor using the Sun and your existing smartphone. This work is based on Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab research. Help us make global citizen scientists and boost air quality monitoring! http://kck.st/1FRd5TQ

Become a citizenScientist! Measure the air quality with the pricey smartphone you already own.

Spent yesterday presenting at http://www.cpasw2014.com/

GAIA spoke about monitoring ozone concentrations at the surface for the DC/VA/MD regions and the impact of these concentrations on public health.

It was a very interesting discussion with a lot of CDC and NOAA folks.

The annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW), initiated in 2002 by the NOAA National Weather Service Climate Services Division, brings together a diverse group of climate researchers, climate product producers, and climate information users to share developments in research an…

A new research paper in the journal geology looks at what the current CO2 levels imply for the eventual rise of the world's oceans.... 70 feet! This will take hundreds to thousands of years - that's the good news - the bad news is that that assumes that we hold CO2 levels to the current values.

Even if humankind manages to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit)--as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommends--future generations will likely have to deal with a completely different world.
