Abstract
This paper presents a vision of the future rooted in consideration of the past 20 years in the smoke and air resource management field. This future is characterized by rapid technological development of computers for computation, communications, and remote sensing capabilities and of the possible societal responses to these advances. We discuss intellectual developments that we foresee and the likely manner in which these will be realized in the form of new tools available for air resource management. Finally we anticipate a changing climatic and political environment and we discuss the implications of this change on air resource management in general and on land management options associated with these changes in particular.
