[ESIP-AQ] Launch of the OpenAQ Explorer Tool

[Colleen Rosales]

Hello, ESIP-AQ Cluster!

It was very nice seeing some of you during last week's session. Thanks
again to Steve for organizing the session!

As some of you may have heard from last week's session, OpenAQ has just
released the OpenAQ Explorer Tool which you can access by going to
explore.openaq.org!

The OpenAQ Explorer allows for data exploration on many levels, including
fine-grained filtering of monitoring locations by data provider, monitor
type, and pollutants measured.

We built OpenAQ Explorer to equip users of all abilities with tools to use
the data platform to understand air quality in their community. It opens
the door to individuals and organizations around the world who 1) want to
browse the data before delving deeper; 2) would want to divert the time and
effort to advocacy; and/or 3) don’t have the technical skills to use an
API.

Along with OpenAQ Explorer, we’ve launched a brand-new simple and engaging
website <http://www.openaq.org/> that requires less bandwidth, making it
easier to access where connectivity is poor and/or users have older
devices. This is another important step in OpenAQ’s quest to make air
quality data universally accessible.


Please do provide us feedback, including thoughts on other functionalities
you would like to see. We will also be happy to give workshops or trainings
on how to use the Explorer.


In addition, we are open to possible collaborations / partnerships if you
are interested in having your data freely hosted on OpenAQ for public and
open-access use.

community!

Sincerely,
Colleen
