Working Papers and Works in Progress

• Leveraging machine learning and satellite Earth observations to develop a near real-time tool to classify global wildfire smoke exposure 

  • Two NASA grants submitted

  • Funding by the Data Science Research Institute at CSU

• Measurement of PM2.5 from Wildfire Smoke: Implications for econometric analyses with application to agricultural worker productivity

• Measuring methane and ammonia emissions from CAFOs in the US

  • National CAFO database I created. Email me if you have questions. 

  • See figures below for preliminary results

• Updating the damage module in the GIVE Integrated Assessment Model to include damages from wildfire smoke

• Impacts of climate induced changes in precipitation patterns on agricultural yields and economic outcomes

• Bias induced by fixed effects in the presence of collider variables

• Travel cost estimates of over 50 US National Parks and estimates of the social consumer surplus (with the National Park Service)

• Wildfire risk and exposure to community drinking water systems (with the US Forest Service)

• Farmer's willingness to accept to give up water rights on the Western Slope of Colorado

• Qualitative research understanding nonresidential landscaping and irrigation choices (with the Alliance for Water Efficiency)

Figures below: Preliminary ammonia (NH3) emissions estimates from select CAFO locations across the US. Values produced using the Ammonia Monitoring Network combined with inverse Gaussian plume modeling. Blue indicates low values. The second figure presents time series of NH3 emissions from 4 representative CAFOs. Figures were produced by Jaeyong Jung.
