DESCRIPTION:Abstract : Wildland fires pose a growing environmental and pub
 lic health challenge\, driven by climate change\, changing land use pract
 ices\, and human activities. Beyond their immediate threats to human life
  and infrastructure\, wildfires generate large amounts of smoke that degr
 ade air quality and expose populations to fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
  and gaseous pollutants\, contributing to both acute and chronic health r
 isks. Emerging evidence links wildfire smoke exposure not only to respira
 tory morbidity but also to adverse cardiovascular and mental health outco
 mes\, with older adults\, children\, and socioeconomically disadvantaged 
 communities facing disproportionate risks. This presentation will introdu
 ce key principles and recent advances in wildfire smoke exposure modeling
 \, highlighting how high-resolution exposure estimates can support epidem
 iological investigations. Using examples from studies of the U.S. Medicar
 e population\, it will demonstrate how these exposure data can improve ou
 r understanding of the associations between wildfire smoke and adverse ca
 rdiovascular outcomes. These advances are essential for strengthening pub
 lic health preparedness\, informing evidence-based policies\, and protect
 ing vulnerable populations from the growing health burden of wildfires. B
 io : Dr. Yang Liu received his PhD in environmental science and engineeri
 ng and postdoc training in environmental health from Harvard University. 
 He is the Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Gangarosa Department o
 f Environmental Health at the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory Un
 iversity. His work focuses on developing data-driven methods and scalable
  frameworks to understand how environmental exposures affect human health
 \, with a focus on air pollution\, extreme weather\, and non-communicable
  diseases. He is a science team member of the NASA EVI-3 MAIA mission and
  a member of the NASA Health and Air Quality Applied Science Team. In add
 ition\, he directs the NIH-funded Climate & Health Actionable Research an
 d Translation (CHART) Center. He has been a Clarivate Global Highly Cited
  Researcher since 2019.\n\nSpeaker:\nYang Liu\, PhD\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n
