Two weeks in the gorgeous Lake District, learning about weather observations and modelling with like-minded peers and experts - sounds interesting? Then you should check out our Atmospheric Measurement & Modelling Summer School! Apply today: ncas.ac.uk/study-with-u...

Wow, that world cup draw was a thing. YMCA. Bizarre!!

Global regulations are having air quality benefits in ports and open oceans. @ncas-uk.bsky.social scientists used aircraft and ground measurements, with STEAM3 model predictions, to assess sulfur emissions from ships. ncas.ac.uk/major-drop-i...

Next February, we'll be hosting our Introduction to Unified Model course. Through a series of short lectures and hands-on workshops, this course will cover everything from the fundamentals of the UM modelling system, to using and converting UM data files. Apply today: ncas.ac.uk/study-with-u...

Recent work from James Lee and colleagues measuring ship plumes before and after international shipping regulations on sulfur were introduced. Most ships emissions passed the tighter regulations but some did not. And a nice picture of FAAM! @atmoschemyork.bsky.social @ncas-uk.bsky.social

If you work on sources and impacts of VOCs (biogenic or anthropogenic) from measurement to modeling perspectives please submit an abstract to our atmospheric organics session at #EGU26! Our invited speakers are @dbm.bsky.social and @jacquirickard.bsky.social See you in Vienna! tinyurl.com/55vda8u7

Nail biting finish for Scotland there!! But yay!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In October 2021, we brought Climate Canopy - an immersive representation of climate change - to COP26 in Glasgow. By bringing art and science together, Climate Canopy acknowledged that climate change is not only a scientific problem but a human problem 💙

Delighted that the 'Decolonising the Curriculum' Group, of which I am a part, in the Chemistry Department @york.ac.uk, has received the @rsc.org Horizon Prize for Education recognising our work to diversify the way chemistry is taught. To find out more, follow the link: www.rsc.org/standards-an...

Really proud of this paper. Over the course of a year, we sampled PM2.5 in >300 houses in Bradford. This work package was led by myself and @profrosiemc.bsky.social and involved a dedicated team of atmospheric and health researchers bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

The science is clear: to tackle climate change, we need to minimise our environmental impacts as soon as we can. Here's what we're doing to lower our carbon footprint: ncas.ac.uk/taking-actio...

British household indoor PM2.5 concentrations were nearly twice as high in the highest depravity houses compared to the least. Ethnicity, renting/owning, smoking, detached/attached, electric/gas cooking all impacted measured PM2.5 concentrations. bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/counter/pdf/...

Study weather and cloud radar fundamentals and applications next June at our Introduction to Atmospheric Radar course! You will learn everything you need to know to get familiar with atmospheric radar, and make connections with like-minded individuals. Apply today: ncas.ac.uk/study-with-u...

Rescuing the last green tomatoes before winter arrives tonight. Snow this week??

Next February, we'll be hosting our Introduction to Unified Model course. Through a series of short lectures and hands-on workshops, this course will cover everything from the fundamentals of the UM modelling system, to using and converting UM data files. Apply today: ncas.ac.uk/course-intro...

It’s clear that atmospheric science plays a vital role in our collective effort to tackle climate change. As #COP30 begins, check out our 4 stories of climate science in action: ncas.ac.uk/cop30-and-cl...
