This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant supports research into atmospheric air pollution to inform decision-making regarding oil and gas development. A Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) university will conduct this project, focusing on the advancement and modernization of air pollution measurement. The selected university, possessing a Brewer Spectrometer, will deploy it in northwestern New Mexico to gather crucial data on atmospheric concentrations of pollutants like ozone, methane, and sulfur dioxide. This data will be compared with emerging monitoring technologies from the Department of Energy. The primary purpose is to enable the BLM to accurately assess the environmental impact of oil and gas development in the Four Corners region, thereby guiding their resource management decisions effectively.

| Description: | A Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) participating university will provide knowledge of atmospheric concentrations of air pollution to support informed decision-making by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The project coordinates and aligns research associated with assessing the impact of development of the nations oil and gas resources among several federal agencies. The CESU university will focus on locating and operating a very specialized air pollution monitor, the Brewer Spectrometer, in northwestern New Mexico to gather data for comparison with emerging monitoring technology deployed by the Department of Energy. The CESU University must possess and operate a Brewer spectrometer. The data gathered will enable the BLM to discern the impact of oil and gas development in the region. Data gathered will include ozone, nitrogen oxides, methane, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and hydrocarbons to inform BLM management decisions related to oil and gas development in the Four Corners region. |
