Understanding climate change in African rainfall via a new generation of high-resolution models

University of Leeds School of Earth & Environment

Africa is home to some of the populations most vulnerable to climate change. Regional climate projections of rainfall for Africa, and in fact elsewhere in the tropics, are highly uncertain and in many regions we do not know if it will get wetter or drier. Read more

Atmospheric chemistry of reactive trace species through direct real-time measurements

University of Leeds Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences

Research Group: School of Chemistry

Poor air quality represents the greatest environmental risk to public health in the UK (DEFRA, 2017), and has been reported to affect every organ in the body, with links to illnesses including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease causing over 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide and costing the UK economy ~£15 billion each year.
