The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team of researchers and engineers seeking to optimize prescribed burn decision-making using a variety of techniques, including airborne and surface observations alongside integrated atmospheric and fire physics modeling. Specific goals for the modeling component of the project relevant to this position include improved model representation of physical and chemical processes related to prescribed fire and air quality (e.g. biomass burning emissions, fire plume dynamics, and secondary pollutant formation), as well as the application of these model improvements to the development of rapid response tools capable of quickly and efficiently evaluating prescribed fire air-quality risks.
