Long-range transport of wildfire smoke
Apr 14, 2025 10:14 AM
This CISESS Seed Grant Project is to develop a wildfire smoke early-warning system using Earth observations, modelled data, and ground measurements to enable timely deployment of clinical support resources to high-risk areas in Maryland. Such a system would have clear benefits to mitigate health care impacts as a result of wildfire smoke events. The alert system will be developed in partnership with UMD School of Medicine and UMD Institute for Health Computing (IHC).
