A team from the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, including Zijun Li, Catherine Kim, and Adolfo Lugo Rios, has secured an Early Career Research Seed Grant of $14,000 from the QUT Resilience Centre, titled “Mapping surface PM2.5 during Australian Bushfire Season using Satellite Optical Depth”. They will work on a project to map surface PM2.5 across Australia during bushfire seasons by linking satellite aerosol optical depth with existing surface PM2.5 measurements. This will provide insights into bushfire-related PM2.5 in regions lacking ground-level monitoring. A 6-month research assistant position will be available for the project. Find out more
