This ceanothus in the garden is in full bloom and has at least 3 different types of butterflies and 5 different bee species on it. It is humming #gardening

Hello from the Lake District 👋 We've just hosted our Atmospheric Measurement & Modelling Summer School, which provides students with key skills required for practical fieldwork, observations, and modelling. Thank you to everyone who came along!

Our latest research shows how tropical cyclones can reduce Bangladesh’s electricity supply by 20%, highlighting the need for climate resilient infrastructure in a rapidly-developing economy. ncas.ac.uk/tropical-cyc... 🧪

First visit to Chelsea Flower Show. Amazing weather and beautiful flowers!

This exciting new paper is a tour de force of multidisciplinary research addressing a key Q: do different sources affect the human body in different ways? We studied the effect on cognition and lung function after human exposure to woodsmoke, diesel, cooking and SOA. Funded by NERC Clean Air Program

New research shows just 60 minutes of exposure to woodsmoke, cleaning‑product aerosols and diesel exhaust trigger different lung and cognitive responses. ncas.ac.uk/just-one-hou...

“By visualising weather and climate data alongside each other, we’re able to more clearly see the physically plausible connections between global carbon dioxide emissions, our world’s changing climate, and local extreme weather events like heatwaves.” - Professor Ed Hawkins

Recreational laughing gas in Ho Chi Minh City caused nitrous oxide spikes up to 80× background levels. NCAS measurements revealed hidden urban emissions and can help inform Vietnam’s 2025 ban: ncas.ac.uk/recreational...

Remember that new paint smell? Regulations have cut harmful paint VOC emissions by up to 60% in 15 years. New NCAS data can help update policy, improve emissions inventories, and better protect indoor air quality. Read the story: ncas.ac.uk/paint-rules-...

A bit of quiet and some local delicacies in Vienna on a break from #egu26

A beautiful day in vienna before #egu26 Visited the botanical gardens - see photo My talk is one of the first of the conference at 8.35 Monday in session AS3.2. Come learn about our work on New insights into isoprene oxidation Chemistry in urban areas and impact on AQ. @ncas-uk.bsky.social

First night in vienna for #egu26 Looking forward to lots of exciting atmospheric science and good food.

What a crazy 20 minutes, from heartbreak to pure joy in our house.

The pictures! 📸 Carl Recine

The garden is starting to wake up now we have some sun. Gorgeous colours. #bloomscrolling

Mum and kid art projects for a rainy easter Sunday.

Sat on a train laughing out loud at this amazing thread.

I dont often post personal pictures but we look cute here enjoying bubbles and disney!!

First watercolour cards versus the most recent. Stress release and art combined #watercolor

A lovely day in the garden planting new perennials and enjoying last Novembers bulb planting! #gardening

Cool paper out this week led by Rhianna Evans from her PhD @atmoschemyork.bsky.social Mechanism Development and Evaluation of the Gas-Phase Photooxidation of Guaiacol: Insights from a Chamber Study | ACS ES&T Air pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

And that's a wrap on our two-day early careers symposium 'Harmony in the Skies: Bridging Horizons in Earth System Science'! A whole breadth of ideas and research was shared and discussed, and many connections were made. Thank you to everyone who came along! 💙

For me this has got to be glyoxal, which i believe is the most annoying and infuriating molecule in atmospheric chemistry. It polymerises, reacts in crazy ways and is a total nightmare to analyse. Any other suggestions? #atmoschem

One of our funniest memories from #COVIDtimes. Recreating famous paintings for school homework!

A few more cards painted #watercolor for stress relief!!

Absolutely amazing #curling at the winter Olympics by GB. My Dad has played for many years and explained the rules to us!

Fantastic day at @metoffice.gov.uk talking about their and @ncas-uk.bsky.social atmospheric observations and weather and climate modelling strategies and further developing our partnership. Thanks to @hillkatydr.bsky.social for leading and arranging.

Some winter colour in the garden this afternoon bringing some cheer after the endless rain
