Agricultural Air Quality
​​
Using a variety of micrometerological measures, the lab explores the fate and transport of plumes generated from agricultural operations. Studies to date have included dust from cotton tillage, pesticide spray dispersion and smoke from sugarcane burning.

Lidar
​​
Light detection and ranging is a remote sensing technique that can measure aersols in three dimensions. The lab uses lidar to track plumes from a vaerity of sources and develops new algorithms for integrating lidar data with more tradiational data sources.
