Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
New modeling study funded by AC4 uses a chemical transport model to evaluate commonly used volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions inventories and compare with observational datasets from the FIREX-AQ and WE-CAN field campaigns.
Researchers from the California Nevada Climate Adaptation Program (CNAP) conducted a survey of Sierra Nevada small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) on the impacts of wildfires and COVID-19.
A recent FIREX-AQ study supported by AC4 analyzed emissions and revealed region-specific chemical signals during a controlled burn in the understudied region of Northern Michigan.
Researchers funded by AC4 sample wildfire smoke in the Western US and characterized sources of atmospheric nitrous acid.
A new study, part of NOAA’s Drought Task Force IV research, shows the leading cause of the rapid increase of wildfires over the western U.S. is the rapid increase of surface air vapor pressure deficit.
This recently released report summarizes a multi-agency regional forum on wildfire and a project to learn lessons from unprecedented wildfires in the region during 2016 and 2018.
In this webinar, the National Weather Service and the RISA Program present stories about researchers, forecasters, and fire managers working together to improve public and wildland firefighter safety.
The Great Basin Climate Forum series, a partnership of the California-Nevada Applications Program (CNAP) RISA and the Great Basin Landscape Conservation Cooperative, brought together over 90 attendees from around the Great Basin region to discuss “What can we learn from the past four years of drought?” on April 8, 2015.
