In this activity, students use a geographic information system [GIS] model (VSmoke-Web) to map the extent of smoke impacts from a chosen prescribed fire case study. Students will decide if the burn should be conducted with the conditions presented in the case study. Students will discuss ways in which smoke impacts could be eliminated or mitigated.
