EPA, NASA Extend Agreement

At a local D.C. middle school on Monday, April 26, 2010, the administrators for the EPA and NASA signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to foster cooperation between the two agencies in environmental and Earth sciences and applications. The administrators challenged the students to continue a pursuit of science and excellence.

The agreement promotes renewed efforts of collaboration between EPA and NASA to improve environmental and Earth science research, technology, environmental management, and the application of Earth science data, models and technology in environmental decision-making. Areas of applied research and applications expected to benefit from this partnership include climate change, air quality and water.
