Keller part of article on NASA and Google partnership
Christoph Keller (610.1/MSU) contributed to the article "NASA and Google Team up to Better Track Local Air Pollution," on nasa.gov. He is part of the project that teams with Google to make NASA air quality information more readily accessible.
From the article: "NASA and Google's 2-year Annex Agreement, signed on July 1, 2022 builds on existing research and collaboration under an ongoing Space Act Agreement. The Agreement's goal is to enhance NASA science data discovery, access and usability through storage and sharing of data on the Google Cloud Platform and Google Earth Engine. ... To accomplish this, as a first step, Google has incorporated two new NASA data sets into the Earth Engine Catalogue that are automatically updated daily. These include data from the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System Composition Forecasts (GEOS-CF) and Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2). These provide satellite observations of pollutants to help map and predict regions with poor air quality." Dr. Keller is the lead developer of the GEOS-CF system.
