The NASA Multi-angle Imager for Aerosols (MAIA) is a satellite instrument currently in development at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The MAIA investigation seeks to understand how different types of particulate matter (PM) affect human health, including acute and chronic conditions and birth outcomes. The MAIA satellite instrument will collect data that will be combined with surface monitors and chemical transport modeling to produce daily-averaged concentrations of speciated PM over a set of globally distributed target areas. These data products will be used by epidemiologists on the MAIA Science Team to conduct health studies, but the PM data will also be publicly available. This town hall will provide an opportunity for epidemiologists, air quality managers, and other interested people to hear from members of the MAIA Science Team, the NASA Applied Science Program, and the Atmospheric Science Data Center about the investigation and opportunities to capitalize on the MAIA investigation.
