Our team applies science and technology to help researchers and practitioners in air quality, public health, fire protection, and fire ecology professions better understand and address the risks and impacts of wildland fires.
Quantify smoke emissions (e.g., fine particulate matter and greenhouse gases) and model air quality impacts from local to national scales for past, current, and future scenarios to inform planning and management decisions.
Leverage measured and simulated air quality data to assess exposures to wildland fire smoke in health and air quality studies.
Prepare wildfire particulate matter and ozone exceptional event demonstrations that meet EPA’s requirements. Sonoma Technology develops exceptional event demonstrations for clients across the country.
Leverage our technical expertise to develop a plan that reflects your district's unique vegetation, terrain, weather, and land use. We can help you address your community’s needs and concerns.
Assess the wildfire threat to your community holistically using data- and model-driven insights on fire regime, risks, built environment, and weather patterns.
Evaluate the effectiveness and benefits of fuels treatments on project and landscape scales with fuel, fire behavior, and forest growth models.
Rely on the best science and technology to stay informed of the current conditions and outlook of fire events, smoke emissions and transport, and air quality impacts.
Characterize fire regime with comprehensive fire history and growth data that are based on satellite fire detections and ground reports.
Facilitate prescribed fire planning using fine-resolution climatological fire weather and smoke transport data.
Expand the use of weather forecasts, climate data, and upper-air instruments in fire weather research and applications.
