Want to Predict Wildfire Severity? Look to the State of Vegetation eos.org/research-spo...
I am excited to co-chair this exciting session at #HEIAC26 on Tuesday.
This will be a great discussion about the use of satellite observations to help us examine air quality and public health impacts.
Notice how black the smoke from this fire in a plastics recycling plant. The emissions from burning urban fuels definitely look different from #wildfires. #airquality #blackcarbon #urbanfire

#SXSW has been so inspiring! I’ve met so many new and interesting people, and have so many great new ideas and connections! I’m really energized! Plus, I got to see a lot of weird stuff.

It’s been fabulous to be a part of this year’s #SXSW! We had a interesting and interactive panel this morning on Climate research, innovation, and industry. It was a great and engaging group, the panel and the audience!
this is a very cool - and important study! This type of information is needed to understand the emissions from fires in the WUI - to protect people and to understand their impacts.
A large fire at a plastic recycling company in Henry County, Tennessee prompted a shelter-in-place order Friday. The cause of the fire has not yet been released.
A new study connects satellite data on vegetation condition, topography, and weather conditions to examine the predicted versus actual burn severity of the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.
I am very proud of this paper from Will Dresser in our group: he participated in a laboratory study led by Shantanu Jathar to investigate the emissions from the burning of building materials. What we found is that emissions of some toxics like benzene are far higher from the burning of plastics.
