Mapping surface PM2.5 during Australian Bushfire Season using Satellite Optical Depth

Our Project

This project aims to 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.
