Maps, GIS & Modeling

Trajectory Modeling:
A Powerful Tool for Identifying Air Pollution Sources. TAMS has created an effective step-by-step guide on using the HYSPLIT program to generate a simple backward trajectory and integrate it into a GIS program. There is also a guide to downloading emission inventory data from EPA’s AirData website and integrating the data into a GIS program.

Plugging-in data and examining pollution sources, prevailing wind direction, meteorological conditions, backward trajectories and dispersion plumes during poor air quality events can give a tribal air professional a solid understanding of area sources and pollutants impacting the reservation.

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.
