GESTAR II Seminar Series, October 13 at 11:00am
Join us for a virtual seminar by Drs. Jeffrey Pierce and Emily Fischer, Professors of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University. Their talk is titled "Fires to Farms: Collaborations using In-Situ and Satellite Observations to Understand Non-Traditional Air Pollution Sources and Impacts."
Date and Time: Thursday, October 13, 2022 at 11:00am
Join us via Teams.
Abstract:
This seminar will provide a broad overview of recent and ongoing air quality research related to both wildfires and agriculture. They will highlight examples of how in situ observations have been combined with satellite observations and models to investigate both fundamental atmospheric science problems and enable applications ranging from epidemiology to economics.
Biographies:
Drs. Jeffrey Pierce and Emily Fischer are both professors in the Atmospheric Science Department at Colorado State University. They work collaboratively across many different projects and both are members of the NASA Health and Air Quality Applied Science Team (HAQAST). Dr. Fischer received her PhD in Atmospheric Science from University of Washington, and she did a postdoc at Harvard University. Dr. Pierce received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, and he did a postdoc at NASA GSFC. Their groups use satellites, in situ measurements, and models to investigate a wide range of topics, ranging from pollution exposure and health; gas and aerosol chemistry and physics; and climate impacts.
