The purpose of this symposium is to once again convene air quality, fire professionals, health scientists, and smoke specialists from the research community, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), local/state/federal government agencies and tribes to discuss the state-of-the-science and state-of-the-applied-science for smoke management and addressing the air quality and public health impacts of wildland fire smoke.
Presentations will be live-streamed, professionally videotaped, and made available for at least one year. Past symposiums have set a very high standard for successful and fully interactive virtual capability. Our goal is that, in addition to providing training and education, ISS4 will enable a global conversation that facilitates knowledge sharing among the variety of experts in geographical, topical, and practice-specific facets of wildland fire smoke.
