This grant aims to enhance the scientific understanding of air pollutant effects on park resources and improve management practices. Collaborating with Colorado State University, the National Park Service seeks to protect park resources and ensure an unimpaired visitor experience. By developing data analysis techniques and image display methods, the project will contribute to NPS planning efforts, inform air quality agencies, and educate the public on the importance of preserving natural ecosystems in national parks and wilderness areas.

| Description: | he goal is to develop a sound scientific understanding of air pollutant effects on park resources and to identify the best management practices for protecting park resources. The public visits national parks and wilderness areas to enjoy nature in an unimpaired state. Air pollutants can adversely affect visitor experience by degrading the vistas and the natural ecosystems of these areas, and in some extreme cases, adversely affect visitor health. The National Park Service (NPS) and Colorado State University (CSU) scientists work together to further develop the scientific understanding of these issues, which is then incorporated into NPS planning documents and used to consult with state and federal air quality agencies and to interpret this resource information for the public. |
