Air quality, weather and flooding information and other data is serving as foundational research for an endeavor aimed at better understanding the environmental challenges faced by Baltimore neighborhoods.
The initiative is part of the Baltimore-Social Environmental Collaborative (BSEC), a project led by Johns Hopkins University, with Morgan State University (MSU) and others. The research and community partners learn from community members about climate and environmental challenges, and deploy technology to gather data and metrics for decision-making, education and programming for future climate mitigation projects.
