Advancing Understanding of GHG and Air Pollutant Emissions through High-Resolution Airborne and Ground Based Systems

Understanding the complex interactions between fire, ecosystems, atmospheric chemistry, and climate is crucial for developing effective strategies for fire management, conservation, and mitigating the impacts of wildfires on both local and global scales. The main problem regarding emissions from fires is the limited understanding of their long-term atmospheric interactions and implications for regional and global air quality, climate, and human health. The current objective is to quantify gas and particulate emissions from fires through various methods. These techniques aim to provide comprehensive data on the composition and characteristics of emissions, aiding in better understanding their impact on the atmosphere, climate, and human health.
