Parisa Masnadi, a Ph.D. candidate, recently presented groundbreaking research on methane emissions monitoring at the SAGE GTI Energy Conference. The presentation, titled “Visual Analytics for Methane Emissions Monitoring,” highlighted innovative strategies to transform complex environmental data into actionable insights.
The research team’s work combines advanced modeling and visual analytics to improve the detection and monitoring of methane emissions. By integrating WRF-GHG models to establish boundary conditions for Large Eddy Simulation (LES), the team has developed a more precise method to pinpoint emission sources. This advancement could play a critical role in addressing one of today’s most pressing climate challenges.
Masnadi expressed gratitude to Dr. Binbin Weng for mentorship and to the OU Data Institute for Societal Challenges (DISC) for institutional support. The research team also recognized the contributions of co-authors Dr. David Ebert, Dr. Binbin Weng, Dr. Wolfgang Jentner, Dr. Chenghao Wang, and Dr. Xiao-Ming Hu for their invaluable guidance.
The team commended GTI Energy for hosting an engaging and well-organized event that fostered meaningful conversations on the future of energy and climate solutions.
