Great insights on Ship Emission Profiles at Dublin Port and Decadal trends & source attribution of Aerosols at Mace Head from our own Dr. Kirsten Fossum & Dr. Vaios @ @icnaa2025.bsky.social @ryaninstitute.bsky.social @epaireland.bsky.social @ucc.ie @uniofgalway.bsky.social @ovadnevaite.bsky.social

🎓👩‍🔬 Our very own Dr @lizcoleman.bsky.social of @ryaninstitute.bsky.social @uniofgalway.bsky.social talks to @newstalkfm.bsky.social Moncrieff about the STEM gender gap at Leaving Cert & its impact at 3rd level. Listen here: 🔗 goloudplayer.com/episodes/gen... #STEM #GenderGap #Ireland

It’s still warm, but as heating season approaches, remember: burning solid fuels at home is the main culprit of urban air pollution. #heat #solidfuels #airquality #aerosource @epaireland.bsky.social @deptcee.bsky.social @ryaninstitute.bsky.social @ovadnevaite.bsky.social

🌟 @uniofgalway.bsky.social , Creative Ireland, Galway City Council & partners celebrated #WestsideArtsFestival (July 8–12), using art to tackle climate change via “The Air We Share” workshops on air pollution & climate. #TheAirWeShare #ArtForChange @lizcoleman.bsky.social @ovadnevaite.bsky.social

Exciting! 🎉 The €6.5M #PEACEAir project, led by ERNACT & funded by #PEACEPLUS, is set to combat cross-border air pollution across Ireland & Northern Ireland over 3.5 yrs. Healthier communities ahead! #CleanAir #AirQualityMatters #CrossBorderCollaboration @ovadnevaite.bsky.social

In the middle of hosting two amazing field campaigns! **COAST-VOC** (www.helsinki.fi/en/researchg...) and **CARES**: (nerccares.wordpress.com) Science in action at the land-sea-atmosphere interface! 🌿 @ovadnevaite.bsky.social #COASTVOC #CARES #ClimateScience #AtmosChem

Funded by @group.bnpparibas.

Spent the month of May on the beautiful Irish west coast quantifying BVOC-emissions from marine algae and seagrass. Fruitful collaboration between @helsinki.fi, @uniofgalway.bsky.social, @coastclim.bsky.social. @cmgustafsson.bsky.social @mikaelehn.bsky.social @ovadnevaite.bsky.social

So…about AI’s energy use… “…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Melting Arctic ice isn’t just bad for polar bears; it’s bad for us, too. A warmer Arctic and changing circulation patterns affect coastlines, crops, and climate patterns around the world.

🍻🌫️ Join us in Galway for two pint-sized talks on what’s in our air—from ocean microbes to climate change! 🗓️ May 19 & 21 🎟️ More info: pintofscience.ie/event/atoms-... pintofscience.ie/event/planet... @pintofscienceie.bsky.social @ovadnevaite.bsky.social

We've updated our #PrimarySchool assemblies on our website, if you're interested in easy presentations for children about #AirPollution and how we can protect ourselves. You can find the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 slides and accompanying notes at the link. Feedback welcome 🙏 .

Setting up nearly complete for #EpicAir and #SolidAir! Now the fun begins…🤠

Reminder: It's happening today! Today at 5pm! at the G10 Hardiman Building, University of Galway. Welcome all. #TheAirWeShare #Spéirscéalta #MaceHead #TAWS.

We combined machine learning with rolling PMF to quantitatively separate local vs. transboundary sources of oxygenated organic aerosol (OOA) in Dublin -- a meaningful step toward smarter air quality policy! Read more: doi.org/10.1021/acse... #MachineLearning #OOA #UrbanAirQuality

Widespread breaches of smoky coal regulations uncovered in Dublin

Big news from MaceHead! A new automatic flask sampler was installed as part of #NUBICOS, making it a European ‘supersite’ for greenhouse gas monitoring and radiocarbons.

🚀 Our very own Dr. Liz Coleman speaking at the Spéirscéalta / Stories of the Air launch in Carna! 🎉 A project blending science, folklore & culture, exploring the air through stories. 📸 Grateful to all who joined! #Spéirscéalta #StoriesOfTheAir #Galway #Connemara #TheAirWeShare #EPIC-AIR

Growing evidence on lung cancer and #airpollution and reasons for the strongest action possible. @andrewgregory.com for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

"The proportion of people being diagnosed with lung cancer who have never smoked is increasing, with #airpollution an “important factor” says World Health Organization." Piece by @andrewgregory.com for the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

How did #StormEowyn compare to the storm of January 1991? Well the official record states gusts to 90 knots in 1991 (www.met.ie/cms/assets/u...). That compares to top recorded gusts of 99 knots last Friday before power went out. 🧵

Our very own Dr. Darius Ceburnis was live on RTE Radio talking about #StormEowyn at Mace Head. @ovadnevaite.bsky.social
