Ryan, John and Geoff each presented findings from the G-WISE 2 campaign regarding aerosol optical properties from simulated wildland fires and structural burns. We had a great time learning about the exciting new work in aerosol research!

Geoff received an award for excellence in teaching for his FYOS course titled, "Baseball by the Numbers: The Evolution of Statistics in the Game". The course introduces students to modern baseball analytics that have and are changing the game. Read more about the course in Georgia Magazine.

The Smithlab and Prof. Al Fischer (Smithlab alum) are making measurements of aerosol optical properties from simulated wildland fires at G-WISE 2 at the U.S. Forest Service Athens Prescribed Fire Science Laboratory and led by Prof. Rawad Saleh (UGA Engineering).

Congratulations to Zach McQueen who was recently awarded a NASA Post-doctoral Researcher Fellowship. Zach will be working at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center where will be conducting research on Titan's atmosphere.

Ryan, John and Geoff attended the annual meeting of the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) where they each gave platform presentations: Ryan on interpreting the aethalometer DualSpot correction, John on coated black carbon particle analysis, and Geoff on clustering based on aerosol optical properties.

Congratulations to Chase, Zach, Ryan and all of our G-WISE collaborators on the publication of their paper, entitled "Brown Carbon Emissions from Biomass Burning under Simulated Wildfire and Prescribed-Fire Conditions".

Congratulations to Zach and all of our G-WISE collaborators on the publication of our paper, entitled "Optical Properties of Biomass Burning Aerosols from Simulated Wildfires and Prescribed Fires with Representative Fuel Beds from the Southeast United States".
