Synthesis of Comprehensive Emissions Measurements and Multi-Scale Modeling for Understanding Secondary Organic Qerosol Chemistry in Wildland Smoke Plumes

The air quality and fire management communities are faced with increasingly difficult decisions regarding critical fire management activities, given the potential contribution of wildfires and prescribed burns (wildland fires) to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Unfortunately,…

The Role of Composition and Particle Size on the Toxicity of Wildfire Emissions

Short-term exposures to ambient particulate matter (PM) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the exposed population, and these same patterns have been noted during wildland fire episodes. Since the scale and frequency of wildfires are expected to increase…

Fire Effects on Regional Air Quality Including Visibility

While considerable research has been done on coarse particulate emissions (PM0), there is less information on fine particulates and aerosols that contribute to regional haze. To meet new air quality monitoring requirements, there will be a need for improved information on fire…

Forecasting of Fire Weather and Smoke Using Vegetation-Atmosphere Interactions

Reliable forecasting of regional weather and wind flow patterns is critical for effective fighting of wildland fires and the operational management of prescribed burns. Accurate prediction of future wind fields is essential for predicting fire behavior; smoke dispersion, and…
