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.

We are looking for a Head of Observations to lead and shape the future of NCAS’s atmospheric measurement and observational science capability.

Climate change is reshaping drought by increasing evaporation and drying soils faster, causing droughts to develop more quickly, become more severe, and affect new regions. Research shows that drought...

Wildfires contribute to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases and other pollutants into the atmosphere, and by triggering vegetation changes.

Wildfires are becoming a systemic seasonal threat, posing serious risks to health, homes and the natural world across the UK

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.
