Proud to have represented our group C-CAPS @ryaninstitute.bsky.social at the @uniofgalway.bsky.social Community Engagement event. Together with my colleague Mahnoor Malik, we managed to share about our project #EpicAir and #PeaceAir focusing on air quality, human health and climate change.

Our group was well represented at the @uniofgalway.bsky.social Community Engagement event. We focused on communicating science and research to communities, a key part of #EpicAir and PEACE-AIR. #EpicAir #PeaceAir #CommunityEngagement

Proud of our PhD students, David Nganga and Mahnoor Malik, for their successful presentations before the GRC panel 👏🎓 Both are contributing to the @researchireland.ie-funded project EPIC-AIR, which aims at fingerprinting climate change and pollution culprits🌍🌫️ #EpicAir #AirPollution #ClimateScience

Our SOLIDAIR team at C-CAPS @ryaninstitute.bsky.social and @ucdscience.bsky.social successfully held an internal workshop at the University of Galway focusing on project progress, emissions characterization, and toxicity assessment. #SolidAir #EpicAir.

Great discussions at the 2nd Stakeholder Meeting of the SolidAir project! Researchers, policymakers, industry, and stakeholders came together to discuss domestic solid fuel emissions, air quality impacts, and pathways toward cleaner, healthier homes in Ireland 🇮🇪🌍 #SolidAir

How does radon tell us about how air moves and mixes? And what is the goal of our project?

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...
