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.

Data collected at The University of Manchester's Air Quality Supersite has contributed to a major international study showing that increasing amounts of desert dust from North Africa are reaching Euro...

Extreme temperatures in May and June led to about 2,700 lost lives in total with climate crisis adding 3C to 4C

Economic interests have shaped society’s response to pollution. Now, policy needs to align with the scientific evidence to clean up our air.

The release of data on ambient and household air pollution highlights critical inequalities: while fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels dropped globally until 2020, they have since remained largely ...

A researcher from The University of Manchester has contributed to a major World Health Organization (WHO) update revealing that global progress on reducing air pollution has slowed, with low- and midd...

Abstract. Residential wood burning (RWB) has become an increasingly significant source of carbonaceous aerosols (CAs) in the UK and worldwide. Black Carbon (BC) and Organic Aerosol (OA) fractions of C...

The health minister warns many citizens "will suffer", with temperatures set to peak on Monday.

Atmospheric trace metals in particulate matter (PM) pose significant environmental and health risks, making their study crucial for understanding urban air quality. These metals originate from various...

This Clean Air Day, NCAS highlights how understanding air quality can help protect people and support better decisions.

Professor Alastair Lewis talks about airports, air pollution, health, regulation, and the role of atmospheric scientists.

In the 1990s, climate scientists made bold forecasts about carbon, heat, and storms. Read what science predicted and what leaders can learn for the future.

In the last few months, a number of questions have come in asking if NASA has attributed Earth’s recent warming to changes in how Earth moves through space

Causes of sea level rise and what we do and don't know for the future
