April 22: The Chemistry of Wildfire Smoke 

The 4th installment of the Learning Series will feature Dr. Gilman and her research on the air quality impacts of wildfire smoke. Dr. Gilman will describe her work making detailed chemical measurements of biomass burning from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) lab in Boulder, the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory, and aboard the NASA DC-8 research aircraft as it flew through smoke plumes in the western and southeastern U.S. We will then explore with her the chemistry of wildfires and how its emissions impact air quality and climate. 

Speaker 

• Jessica Gilman, Ph.D.: Research Chemist, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
