Assessment of Air Quality Impacts of Global Change Fills a vital niche within CCSP –Focused on consequences for air quality managers –Connecting global change to local health and control investment implications. Designed and implemented in close cooperation with OAR –Selection of tools, methods, timeframes, etc. –Future cooperation needs to shift from methods to message Complements OAR work focused in other directions –Air quality impacts on climate change –Intercontinental flows of air pollutants –Public information programs related to climate change –Integrated analysis tools for air quality management –Alternative motor vehicle technology development –Future technology and emissions scenario development –Biogenic and wildfire emissions estimation –Global integrated assessment modeling
