1. 2009 Progress Report to UIC: GEOSS Air Quality Community of Practice (AQ CoP link to cop site ) Rudolf Husar (Point of Contact, rhusar@wustl.edu) Washington University in St. Louis 14 th GEOSS User Interface Committee Meeting London, March 3, 2010

2. Air quality: Many Observations, Many Applications 2

3. The CoP aims to connect and enable air quality data providers and data users to benefit society using the GEO Process and GEOSS Infrastructure 3

4. 2009 CoP Activities using the GEO Process Meetings, Coordination: (add links here) Organized Session AQ and GEOSS, ISRSE, May, Stresa, Italy Meeting AQ Community Infrastructure, ESIP, July, Santa Barbara, CA AQ Side Meeting at GEO-VI Plenary, November, Washington DC Coordinated GEO Decision Support Concept Proposal Coordinated Participation in the GEOSS AIP-II Monthly Teleconferences Information sharing, communication and coordination through wiki.

14. AQ CoP Goal: Support the Development of a AQ Community GEO Process Functioning AQ System of Systems by 2015 Use of AQ Observations Tools & Methods that Work with Distribute Data Sharing Practical Knowledge Useful for Decision Making AQ Community of Practice By Connecting and Enabling

15. AQ CoP Challenges Broader Participation by Non- US members –More incentives to provide and use networked data –Develop trust and acceptance by the AQ community –Clearer CoP scope, governance and links to others More Networked AQ Data –More tech support to early adopters –More incentives to provide and use networked data
