Title: Human influence on our atmosphere, and the atmosphere’s impact on us
Abstract: Humans are modifying the environment around us—from climate change to air pollution—in ways that feedback on society. Emissions of both long- and short-lived pollutants have local and global impacts, with large spatial variability. As we transition our infrastructure to mitigate and adapt to our changing climate and environment, we need to better understand the spatial heterogeneity in the impact that atmospheric changes have on humans.

Davis Group research spotlighted in Los Angeles Times
A recent study from researchers at UC Irvine and Global Energy Monitor found that replacing aging coal plants with new gas plants that could operate for 30 years or longer — as America has done in recent years — might reduce long-term carbon emissions by just 12%.

NASA’s LANCE data system, which makes enormous amounts of satellite information available to scientists around the world almost as soon as it's collected, is powerful.
How powerful?
