Threats to Biodiversity

22.1K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Public Health
  • Remote Sensing

Background:

  • Wildfires in Montana threaten public health via smoke and air pollution.
  • Existing ground-based air quality sensors are sparse, limiting accurate air quality prediction.
  • Elevated particulate matter (PM2.5) is linked to severe health issues, including mortality and chronic diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a predictive model for estimating daily PM2.5 concentrations in Montana.
  • To utilize satellite-derived data and machine learning within the Google Earth Engine environment.
  • To create high-resolution (1 km) daily PM2.5 concentration maps from 2012-2023.

Main Methods:

  • A random forest predictive model was developed using Google Earth Engine.
  • Input variables included satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD), dewpoint temperature (DPT), relative humidity (RH), wind speed (WIND), wind direction (WDIR), pressure (PRES), and planetary-boundary-layer height (PBLH).
  • Model validation was performed using 10-fold cross-validation (R²=0.572, RMSE=9.98 μg/m³) and held-out data (R²=0.487, RMSE=10.53 μg/m³).

Main Results:

  • A validated model successfully estimated daily PM2.5 concentrations across Montana.
  • Generated daily PM2.5 concentration maps at 1 km resolution for the period 2012-2023.
  • An accessible application was developed using Google Earth Engine to display these maps.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides valuable spatiotemporal insights into PM2.5 pollution trends in Montana.
  • The developed PM2.5 concentration maps can inform community mitigation strategies.
  • This tool aids in minimizing public exposure to hazardous wildfire smoke and air pollution.
