Asst Prof. @UBCgeog | studying 🔥, what drives them + impacts on air quality/public health | here for 🏀 memes | she/her
Some personal news: I will be starting as an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Geography in January 2025! Very excited for the next chapter of fire 🔥🌲, remote sensing 🛰️, and air quality/public health 🏭🌬️ research @UBC @UBCGeog
I had also created an #EarthEngine App to visualize NOAA's HMS smoke 💨 and fire 🔥 products. You can check out the app from link below; additional details are in my GitHub repo. Link: globalfires.earthengine.app/view/hms-smoke GitHub: github.com/tianjialiu/HMS…
In our new @IJWildlandFire paper, we evaluated the use of NOAA's Hazard Mapping System (HMS) smoke product in #AirQuality and #PublicHealth analyses of fire 🔥-related smoke 💨. 🧵
Important new preprint from @TheRealPyroTina (+ friends) showing that the widely-used Hazard Mapping System (HMS) smoke product 🔥 is unreliable outside of the Western US. HMS has been used to study smoke in the East which should be reconsidered. Link below:
This WaPo article by @karishma__m__ highlights some of our work over the last few years on NW India's agricultural fires, a seasonal and episodic source of regional air pollution. These anecdotes from farmers are especially important. #fires 🔥 #AirPollution 💨 #India
As Delhi reels once again from toxic air, a story about a law from 16 years ago that tried to adapt to climate change, but ended up exacerbating a climate disaster. How shifting the rice season unintentionally added to Delhi's air problems. washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/…
For graduate students or postdocs interested in or currently applying for faculty positions, we wrote a guide to share our experiences and make the process less opaque!
🚨Navigating the academic job market can be brutal! We've tried to create a comprehensive guide for applying to Tenure-Track Asst. Prof positions based on our recent experiences 📚 Check it out: docs.google.com/document/d/106… Thx 🎉to @TheRealPyroTina @minghao_qiu @dien_wu
We’re pleased to share that most #GeoforGood23 sessions are now available on demand! You can watch them on our website at g.co/earth/GeoForGo… or on our YouTube playlist at youtube.com/playlist?list=… and we’ll be highlighting session recordings on this thread over the next…
Day 1 of the #BBURNED_FEW virtual workshop is underway with the first five presentations on biomass burning emissions datasets from @GuidovanderWerf @m_parrington @Joh_Kaiser @cwiedinm Ed Hyer & Arlindo da Silva. More info and agenda avaiable at www2.acom.ucar.edu/bburned/fire-e…
Just one week to go until the first #BBURNED_FEW virtual fire emissions workshop! See the information below for the link to the agenda and registration details.
In three weeks (7-9 November) the first BBURNED virtual workshop #BBURNED_FEW reviewing the current status and new developments of fire emission estimation will take place. More information, agenda and registration details can be found at www2.acom.ucar.edu/bburned/fire-e…
During Canada’s record-breaking 2023 fire season, NASA scientists tracked the blazes with a new system, FEDS, that uses @NOAA & @NASA satellite data to provide more frequent monitoring of fire activity, growth, and behavior than was previously available. go.nasa.gov/3Sc6Wf4

Published paper🚨 We design data-driven air pollution sensor networks that account for the legacy of racial/income disparities in the US. We present equitable sensor networks in St. Louis, Houston, Buffalo, and Boston; showing how low-cost sensors can be a way forward 🏙️🌆
By burning vast layers of partially decomposed vegetable matter called peat, fires like those in Canada release even more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere hrvd.me/Wildfires098t
