Georgia Tech Professors Yuhang Wang and Yi Deng built a complete climate modeling system incorporating surface reflectivity, aerosols, heat released from fires, and other components. Their goal was to determine how wildfires feed into climate processes and weather systems.

🔥When wildfires burn, they affect more than the climate from which they originate. That’s why researchers from our School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences are studying wildfires and their impact on climate processes and weather systems.
