Simulating the air quality impact of prescribed fires using graph neural network-based PM2.5 forecasts by Kyleen Liao, Jatan Buch, Kara D. Lamb, Pierre Gentine

“…Utilizing a two-step approach, we use our forecasting model to predict the net and ambient PM2.5 concentrations, which are used to estimate wildfire contributions. Integrating the GNN-based PM2.5 forecasting model with simulations of historically prescribed fires, we propose a novel framework to forecast their air quality impact. …”
