EERL is pleased to congratulate Bradley Conrad, who successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis, Quantification of Black Carbon Emissions from Gas Flaring and Standardization of the Sky-LOSA Measurement Technique<\/em>, on September 11th<\/sup>, 2020.\u00a0 Bradley\u2019s outstanding research has been central to FlareNet\u2019s Theme 5 objectives and was nominated by his thesis examination committee for the prestigious Senate Medal for Outstanding Academic Achievement at Carleton University.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Theme 5 of the FlareNet Network aims to develop novel technology for field measurements and apply these to conduct quantitative in situ field measurements of flare black carbon (BC) emissions rates as a function of flare gas flow rates and composition.\u00a0 Until recently, there were no viable approaches for directly measuring BC emission rates from open flares in situ. This has changed with the emergence of a new measurement technology known as sky-LOSA (Line-Of-Sight Attenuation using sky-light), which enables remote optical measurement of soot concentration and emission rates in flare plumes.<\/p>\n
