Project Title:
Environmental Planning and Management Using Real-Time Data
Sponsoring Office:
Region 3, Office of Policy and Management
Project Overview:
With ever-increasing technological advances, opportunities for real-time environmental measurement are possible that could greatly accelerate the effectiveness of decision processes. One such technology, embedded sensor networks, could dramatically increase the amount of accurate, timely data available for environmental planning and analysis. Regional academic institutions, industry, and think tanks are among the organizations pioneering these efforts. EPA is in a unique position to partner with these organizations to revolutionize EPA's environmental management capabilities. The fellow will work with the Region 3 Planning and Analysis Branch to research real-time environmental measurement technologies, including embedded sensor networks, and how they relate to environmental planning and analysis. The fellow will research financial, logistical, and organizational challenges for implementation of real-time technologies. The fellow will also research regional data infrastructure and the nexus with current accountability systems, including EPA's Annual Commitment System.
Project Goals:
At the completion of this project, the fellow will have knowledge of real-time environmental measurement technologies, including embedded sensor networks, and understand how they relate to environmental planning and analysis. The fellow will learn about environmental management and potential technologies that accelerate decision-making processes. The fellow also will learn how to establish partnerships and implement improvements in an interagency environment.
Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will provide a report on environmental management capabilities and deliver a presentation to senior regional leadership.
