About
Dr. Sean Raffuse is a leading researcher in atmospheric science and air quality, with a focus on the intersection of wildfire emissions and human health. His work centers on developing high-resolution methods to assess exposure to particulate matter (PM) from wildfire smoke, a critical area given the increasing frequency and intensity of such events. Dr. Raffuse’s most cited paper, "High‐resolution MODIS aerosol retrieval during wildfire events in California for use in exposure assessment" (2013, 18 citations), pioneered the use of satellite-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) from MODIS to estimate surface-level PM concentrations during wildfires. This contribution has been instrumental in improving exposure assessments for epidemiological studies, enabling more accurate links between smoke events and health outcomes. His research has directly supported California’s wildfire response and air quality management, demonstrating the practical impact of his work. Dr. Raffuse’s innovative approach to integrating satellite data with ground-based monitoring continues to shape how scientists and policymakers understand and mitigate the health risks of wildfire smoke.
