Tiny pocket parks, forest patches, and vacant lots are nestled throughout Baltimore City. Tam\u00e1s Budav\u00e1ri<\/a>, an associate professor of applied mathematics and statistics, is teaming up with Katalin Szlavecz<\/a> and Benjamin Zaitchik<\/a> \u2014both earth and planetary science faculty members at the Krieger School\u2014to assess the value of this green infrastructure to the city\u2019s well-being. Their Environmental Hopkins Observation Network (e-HON) will deploy 50 sensors to monitor environmental conditions at various green spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cData are the new gold,\u201d says Budav\u00e1ri, who for several years has been working to help city officials identify vacant buildings. \u201cWhat we learn will be of use to policymakers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

e-HON is supported by a seed grant from Johns Hopkins University\u2019s 21st Century Cities Initiative<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
