📢 Deadline extended! @uniofgalway.bsky.social C-CAPS seeks a Postdoc in Climate & Air Quality Modelling under #EpicAir. Study pollution impacts on radiative forcing using #CTM + #ESM. Apply 👉 universityvacancies.com/university-g... @lizcoleman.bsky.social @ovadnevaite.bsky.social

Another 'first paper' from one of my PhD students, this time by Osayomwanbor Oghama. This paper is looking at stove emissions, focused on the chemical profiling using CIMS and AMS according to different fuels and burning conditions. doi.org/10.1039/D5EA...

C-CAPS is looking for a Climate and AQ modeller to join our vibrant research team. The role looks at the effects of pollution sources on radiative forcing. E.g. integrating #CTM with #ESM for combined health and climate effects under #Epic-Air project. www.universityofgalway.ie/human-resour...

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

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

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
