NOAA Fire Research: Fire and air quality extremes

NOAA Fire Research from Conditions to Impacts: FIre and Air Quality Extremes

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 2-3pm ET

This seminar series, hosted by NOAA's Climate Program Office and NOAA’s Fire Observation, Research, and Services Team (FOReST) Team features cutting-edge research from NOAA scientists and NOAA-supported investigators, showcasing NOAA and partner fire research activities and their impact on science and services.

In this session, Owen Cooper (NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory) and Larry Horowitz (NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) will discuss their research on links between the wildfires and air quality. Stay tuned for future sessions in this series, covering topics such as the impacts of fire and smoke on urban areas, improving wildfire risk tools, fire weather, understanding and forecasting wildfires and smoke, and research at the intersection of drought and fire.
