![Aerosol Optical Depth for a dust event on July 26th-27th, 2021, calculated with the MAIAC algorithm from Terra and Aqua MODIS satellite data. Great Salt Lake surface area, in blue, was derived from JRC Yearly Water Classification History and processed imagery from Landsat 5, 7, and 8. The map depicts regions that are most impacted by dust surrounding the Great Salt Lake. Red and Yellow represent high dust levels within Northern Utah.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_VEJ_GreatSaltLakeHAQ_WebImage.jpg.webp?itok=T6r5Pogy)

![Aerosol optical depth concentration from MODIS, captured on August 16, 2020, during the fire season. Dark purples hues indicate normal atmospheric conditions, while orange and yellow hues show high concentrations of aerosols, suggesting the presence of smoke and particulate matter following a fire event. MODIS aerosol optical depth can be used as a proxy for PM2.5 pollution, increasing decision makers’ capacities to monitor and address the negative effects of wildfire smoke plumes on residential areas.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_LaRC_ColoradoSpringsHAQ_WebImage.png.webp?itok=rNvnSpEC)
