A new study looking into short-lived pollutants reveals measures governments could implement to substantially improve air quality as well as fight climate change. The results, by a team of scientists from around Europe and China, are published today (24 September) in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics , an open access journal of the European Geosciences Union ( EGU ). In the EU, the reduction in life expectancy due to air pollution was 7.5 months in 2010, and legislation already in place to improve air quality aims to reduce this loss to 5.2 months by 2030.

Tostevin, a lecturer at the University of Cape Town who teaches a course on the geology of South Africa and manages a language diversity programme, will work closely with Batande Getyengana, a student at the same institution and a native isiXhosa speaker, to create a geological dictionary in isiXhosa to help inspire public engagement in a population that historically has been excluded by the geoscience community.

However, soils are naturally heterogeneous. This heterogeneity results in a non-uniform spatial distribution of substrate carbon as well as microorganisms inhabiting it. In this poster, we introduce a methodology to account for spatial heterogeneities in soil carbon cycling models and discuss the limitations of using traditional models that neglect spatial variability.

The results demonstrate that the model captures the effects of various physical processes in the topside ionosphere, and the model predictions are within a factor of 2 from the observations >90% of the time.

Click here to download the poster/PICO file. I am a PhD student in the Department of Geophysics and Meteorology (Faculty of Physics) at the Complutense University of Madrid, under the supervision of Prof. Carlos Yagüe. My PhD research aims to make a study of mesoscale phenomena developed under stable synoptic conditions and its influence on smallerscale phenomena specially related to atmospheric turbulence and the mixing and diffusion of physical properties in the lower atmosphere.

This technique has proved useful to quantify the magnitude of tropical – extratropical links at intraseasonal timescales, to study the effect of El Niño – southern Oscillation on such teleconnections and provide statistical seasonal forecasts of the ISM rainfall a few months ahead of the monsoon onset. The work presented in EGU2021’s online PICO session focuses on the application of causal discovery on a 2D map.

These new emission findings will aid in improving the global biogenic VOC terrestrial budget and assessing the impact of land use land cover changes on atmospheric chemistry and air quality where Mahogany plantations are found in abundance in Asian and the American regions.

In recent years, there has been growing awareness of the discrimination and challenges faced by geoscientists both within and beyond academia, supported by research findings and personal accounts. However, vulnerabilities during fieldwork remain an often-overlooked aspect of this issue.

If, much later, thousands of years later in fact, a scientist came across this glass with its frozen water and tapped into the bubbles, they would find old air from your kitchen trapped inside! Tapping into air trapped in ice sheets from hundreds of thousands of years ago is one of the key ways that scientists can understand what the Earth’s atmosphere was like back then.
