Researchers at MIT Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment are contributing towards the understanding of aviation’s environmental impacts and assessing technologies or policies to mitigate these impacts. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the LAE team leveraged ground and satellite monitoring data to assess the air quality impacts of global, large-scale economic shutdowns.
VoLo’s gift supports the work of Dr. Steven Barrett, Director of MIT’s LAE, to quantify the impacts of human-caused emissions on air quality, and to study the associated health impacts.
