Description
Speaker: Aditya Kumar, Environmental Engineering, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI
Wildfires are an important source of atmospheric pollutants that influence atmospheric chemistry, the Earth’s climate and contribute to remote ecosystem contamination. Future global environmental change could result in major changes in wildfire emissions by altering fuel type/availability and meteorological conditions. This talk presents results from several modeling studies.
