The Introduction to Scientific Computing course covers the skills needed for effective data management and analysis using Linux and Python.

Two NCAS researchers were among experts invited to contribute to a recent Government Office for Science rapid report examining the impacts of El Niño on the UK.

During one of this summer’s UK heatwaves, we sparked conversations about climate change by combining art, science and local stories.

Wildfires can have significant impacts on air quality, as wildfire smoke contains a mixture of hazardous air pollutants.

The amount of desert dust from North Africa that is reaching Europe is on the rise, with implications for health and for solar energy.

Persistent high temperatures cause hot, dry conditions in which wildfires can spread.

Besides bringing risks to the environment, infrastructure, and people’s physical and mental health, heatwaves also affect air quality.
