Smoke management in the Southern Appalachians
This course will examine some of the challenges faced when trying to manage smoke in mountainous terrain. We will spend time looking at each component of the smoke management process from estimating fuel loads, consumption and emissions, as well as transport and diffusion. A primary focus will be highlighting the differences between managing smoke in the coastal plain versus the mountains. We will explore an range of tools available to assist land managers with managing smoke and spend some time examining case studies of smoke management gone wrong. The primary focus of this workshop is not specific training on any one tool; but rather, improving ones understanding of smoke management and the factors that can contribute to undesirable smoke management outcomes.
