Scientists uncover combustion mechanism to better predict warming by wildfires
Los Alamos NM (SPX) Aug 06, 2014 - Scientists have uncovered key attributes of so-called "brown carbon" from wildfires, airborne atmospheric particles that may have influenced current climate models that failed to take the material's warming effects into account. The work was described by a collaborative team of researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Montana in the journa ... more
