<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Wildland fires are one of the largest sources of air pollution in the U.S. and can impact air quality hundreds of miles downwind. The amount and composition of emissions and their dependence
on the fuels and fire behavior are still poorly known, in part due to the difficulty of measuring these emissions. Additionally, the dispersion of smoke in complex topographies, such as in mountainous terrain, is difficult to predict and require measurements
with high spatial resolution. Air quality monitoring stations are often sparsely situated and cannot characterize the variation in smoke concentration downwind of fires. Accurate information on smoke emissions and downwind concentrations are needed to expand
our understanding of how wildland fires impact air quality.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">The objective of this research project is to develop and evaluate next-generation lower-cost, light-weight sensor systems for measuring wildfire smoke. Multiple low-cost, portable sensor
packages can be deployed in a dense spatial network to provide unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution of smoke concentrations near fires. Light-weight battery powered sensor packages can be mounted on unmanned aerial systems to measure and track the
plumes from these fires. The research participant will participate in the design of sensor packages for multiple pollutants and the validation of these packages with more traditional emissions sampling equipment. The research participant will have the opportunity
to evaluate the sensors in a laboratory environment as well as in areas impacted by wildfires or downwind of prescribed fire operations.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

The research participant will receive training in the design and construction of air quality sensor systems. This research training may include the design of electronic hardware, software, battery and solar power systems, and physical mounting systems. The
research participant will receive training in a wide array of measurement methods to evaluate smoke concentrations. Measurement methods can include gas and particle sensors, continuous measuring instruments, batch sampling, and analytical measurements. The
research participant will receive training in the calibration of these instruments and sampling pumps to ensure accurate reference measurements for sensor evaluations. The research participant will also receive training in methods to analyze and visualize
sensor data to identify spatial and temporal trends of smoke concentrations near wildland fires.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Wildfires frequently cause intense pollution episodes in downwind areas, particularly increasing fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations. A common intervention recommended by
public health agencies is to stay indoors and attempt to reduce pollution levels by using a home HVAC system with in duct filters, operating a portable air cleaner (PACs), or relocating to a location with lower indoor pollution concentrations (e.g., clean
air shelter). However, the effectiveness of these interventions to reduce exposure over time to extremely elevated concentrations is not well known. This research opportunity will focus on evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions through laboratory
evaluations of air cleaning devices repeatedly exposed to high concentrations of smoke and measurements of smoke exposure in areas frequently impacted by wildfires.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
