5 Dec 2023PhD Opportunity to Explore the Pollution-Climate-Health Dilemma

CERC is a partner for a PhD studentship harnessing data and air pollution modelling to examine the complex interactions between pollution, climate, and health. The PhD project will delve into the issue of why the public is perceiving a decline in their health and wellbeing due to exposure to air pollutants when, in reality, anthropogenic air pollution emissions have significantly decreased over the last 30 years. One potential factor contributing to this dilemma could be the influence of climate change and the evolving nature of emissions.

The studentship will be awarded by Envision, a doctoral training program which fosters collaboration between researchers, industry partners and NGOs to cultivate a new generation of exceptional environmental scientists. The selected student will benefit from supervision of a team of interdisciplinary experts throughout the PhD journey, including an NHS clinician, and receive training from CERC and RDScientific.

If this rewarding and challenging project appeals to you please consider applying here. Or for further details please contact Professor Sarah Metcalfe, sarah.metcalfe@nottingham.ac.uk or Professor Duncan Whyatt, d.whyatt@lancaster.ac.uk.

17 Nov 2023Exploring Particulate Deposition Modelling at the ADMLC Seminar

CERC’s director, Dr David Carruthers, shared his insights into particulate deposition modelling using ADMS at the recent seminar organised by the Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Liaison Committee (ADMLC) on dry deposition of reactive chemicals. David’s presentation explored the complexities of capturing the impact of spatial and temporal variation on modelled deposition, using a copper deposition dataset in the West Midlands as an example. Deposition is a critical topic that spans the environmental, defence and industrial safety sectors. This seminar brought together experts from these fields to collaborate, share knowledge and discuss approaches to modelling and measuring deposition. Access all the presentations from the day here.

This discussion will be continued in the forthcoming ADMS User Group Meeting, with Dr Victoria Hamilton giving a presentation that focuses on practical deposition model applications. This annual face-to-face meeting provides a great opportunity to learn more about the latest ADMS model advances and provides opportunities to network with other experts in the field – we hope to see you there!

17 Oct 2023CERC sponsor & present at Routes to Clean Air 2023

CERC are once again proud to have sponsored the Institute of Air Quality Management's (IAQM) Routes to Clean Air 2023 conference, held in Manchester on the 10th and 11th of October 2023.

The Routes to Clean Air conferences are annual events, providing a valuable opportunity for professionals in air quality and related fields to share their experiences and innovations for improving air quality. This year featured an excellent selection of talks, with key themes including indoor air quality, and the impacts of Net Zero on air quality. The latter included Dr Catheryn Price from CERC presenting a talk entitled 'Dispersion modelling considerations for air quality and Net Zero'.

Speaker details and the conference programme can be found on the IAQM website here, and the slides of the presentations will also be available soon.

17 Oct 2023CERC sponsor Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Forum (CCSF) event

CERC are proud to be the main sponsor for the 2023 Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Forum (CCSF). This was a University of Cambridge student event organised by Cambridge Hub and also sponsored by Cambridge Zero. This year a one-day forum on Climate Change was held on Sunday 15th October at the Cambridge Union, with over 190 people attending. Topics covered a wide range from Sustainable Growth/degrowth, Activism, Climate Politics and Emerging Technologies. There were break out periods for group discussions, Q&A sessions, as well as time at the end of the day for further dialogue and exchange of ideas. The day was a huge success.
