Colorado Front Range Air Quality Info Site

https://sites.google.com/view/frontrangeaqinfosite

A project for Western Colorado University’s Masters of Environmental Management Program, Science of Environmental Management class. The objective of the project was to create a model website for a single place to access relevant climate information. The project was performed during the late summer during periods of wildfire and increased ozone levels in the Colorado Front Range, and so the application was determined as such.

From the site:

“The intention behind this website is to explore the idea of a “climate emergency infosite,” with information for understanding and action in face of climate risks, such as air quality, wildfire, drought, and flood. Our intention is to prioritize pragmatic, simple, and empathetic guidance that is actionable, convenient, and understandable. By pursuing this goal, we are adding stories and iterations to the effort to improve public communication of climate issues.”

This project was conducted in partnership with classmate Jad Freiha, under the tutelage of Dr. Jessica Young.
