UAF received a $702K U.S. National Science Foundation grant to acquire two instruments for studying winter air pollution and summer wildfire smoke in cold-weather cities like Fairbanks. #AirQuality #UAFResearch bit.ly/4dbgcb2

New paper! Interested in the effect of Alaskan wildfires on air pollution? Read how HAQAST researchers provide a method to estimate surface PM2.5 from satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD). buff.ly/3MnsRMw Jingqiu Mao Pawan Gupta

Led by graduate student Tianlang Zhao

A team led by Tianlang Zhao Jingqiu Mao UA Fairbanks UAF Geophysical Institute proposes a quick and direct method to estimate surface #PM2.5 over #Alaska, especially in places exposed to strong #wildfire events with limited measurements. #Aerosol ACS ES&T Air: go.acs.org/aEB

Come and be my colleague!

We will have another big trailer in place hopefully by the end of this month, which will accommodate the instruments from INAR, Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry (LAC), Aerodyne Research and beyond.

Graduate student James Campbell recently gave an excellent interview on Alaska TV, discussing his latest paper published in Science Advances (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). James is also a NASA Student Airborne Research Program - SARP alumnus. alaskasnewssource.com/video/2024/09/…

Thrilled to host Prof. R. Weber Georgia Tech EAS at EPFL-ENAC & CSTACC_FORTH to discuss research & visit ReCLEAN_JI MétéoSuisse & CleanCloud_HE Helmos Station #CHOPIN campaigns! You're invited to his seminar, Friday Oct.4 @ 12pm CET - See you there! memento.epfl.ch/event/special-… FORTH

Science isn't about knowing all the answers, it’s about asking the right questions.

HAQAST connects NASA satellite data and products with public health experts and air quality managers. Celebrate successes of the last four years and learn more about the opportunities at our Showcase, January 28, 2025, in Washington DC and online! haqast.org/haqast-showcas…

Prof. Weber delivered a superb seminar! Highly recommended to see the recording, especially for those that could not make it live. Enjoy! mediaspace.epfl.ch/media/Environm… Georgia Tech EAS EPFL-ENAC CSTACC_FORTH ReCLEAN_JI MétéoSuisse CleanCloud_HE Helmos Station FORTH

Here's some new research from the UA Fairbanks that Alaska residents will surely appreciate. A graduate student has come up with a method of quickly determining surface air quality during the state's sometimes intense wildfire season. gi.alaska.edu/news/method-ra…

Like many university faculty, I write a lot of reference letters. Here's instructions I give to students. Students: many of these practices will make your letters better, improve your relationship with your mentors, and convey more professional behavior. drive.google.com/file/d/1Q-oPT9…

Is this paper ingnoring aerosols and clouds?

I could use your help with my fundraiser on GoFundMe. Please share, support, or donate—every small action counts. gofund.me/824875c5

There's something different about the air quality derived from large-scale fires specifically burning in urban areas. Take a look at our @caltech #ASCENT_USA work in the The New York Times on the Los Angeles Eaton Canyon and Palisades fires.
