Webinars, Software & Tools

Webinars
The TAMS Center is committed to providing training on what tribal professionals need, when they need it. Toward that end, we are developing several webinar series and online tools. Some series will involve short, targeted webinars that address specific topics, and are informational only, involving no homework or completion certificates. Others will be more extensive curricula, involving multiple webinars and courses, homework, and certificates of completion. All our webinars have been developed in response to needs voiced by the tribal environmental professionals and are designed to work in conjunction with both classroom courses and individualized professional assistance.

Software & Tools
The TAMS Center has developed a powerful suite of air-management software tools that are available to the tribes at no cost. Training is available to help tribal air professionals get up to speed on the software, via organized classroom sessions, online training and guidance, and informally by arrangement with ITEP staff.

Tribal Emissions Inventory Software Solution (TEISS): TEISS software provides a guided template for creating a tribal emissions inventory. For more information, contact Angelique.Luedeker@nau.edu.

Tribal Data Toolbox: This tool is a MS Access database for managing air monitoring data. For more information, contact Angelique.Luedeker@nau.edu or Melinda.Ronca-Battista@nau.edu

Quality Review and Exchange System for Tribes (QREST): The QREST is a cloud database/data management tool that is free to Tribes. For more information, contact Melinda.Ronca-Battista@nau.edu

National Tribal Forum on Air Quality

The National Tribal Forum on Air Quality (NTFAQ) aims to support tribal programs by fostering information-sharing and networking opportunities that are focused on building tribal capacity in air quality management. The event’s agenda is driven by tribal input and priorities, with a focus on increasing tribal engagement in air quality initiatives that are relevant to tribal communities across the nation.
