Wildfire occurrences have experienced a notable surge over the past few decades over the North America. The increasing emissions from wildfires over the western US offset the air quality improvement from decades of anthropogenic emission controls under the Clean Air Act. Over the Eastern US, while the impacts of wildfires are generally minor, the Canadian wildfire smoke in June 2023 led to unprecedented PM2.5 pollution across the eastern US. The goal of this project is to use state-of-science air quality models to study how wildfires influence U.S. air quality, and quantify population exposure to wildfire-related air pollution.
Applicant must be LSAMP eligible.
The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program at Rutgers University-New Brunswick is a non-medical science program sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The program is designed to increase the interest, retention, graduation, and success of students from racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in non-medical (STEM) fields (i.e. Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/Alaskan, Pacific Islander).
