Great to see our paper out in @NatureComms 🎉 We observed high #isoprene concentrations in the @_SouthernOcean 🌊 linked to air masses from the marginal ice zone. Comparing with models, we found current emission estimates needed at least a 20x increase to account for obs... 🧵1/4

🚨 New paper alert - a review on the key biases and correction methods for low-cost sensors applied to #airquality. Comparisons between different studies are made difficult by the lack of a standardised approach to calibration/correction mdpi.com/2073-4433/15/12/152…

Happy #AntarticaDay🐧Here's a picture of our #iDirac, which has been measuring DMS at @BAS_News Rothera base since 2022, shedding light on marine #BVOCs, clouds and climate as part of @CloudSenseNERC (photo credits: @tlc2605,@DrFEMvdHeuvel & @BAS_News)

If you have expertise with sampling and measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and you are looking for a postdoc position, consider bringing your knowledge and expertise to the Finnish Meteorological Institute by joining our group.

Atmospheric modellers - has anyone looked at the impact of emissions from seaweed farms under different growth scenarios? Wondering if enough #DMS or #BVOCs can be emitted to impact #Climate? 🤔

Less than a week left to apply, a great opportunity for anyone interested in #airquality @AtmChemAeroJobs

I would like to introduce our new paper in Nature Communications, which is the result of a highly successful international collaboration with @VOLT_center , @Riikka_Rinnan , @atzukac , @LundJing , @lejishvettikkat , and other great collaborators. We found that the sedges in the Arctic have a different temperature response curve compared to other known isoprene emitters, which explains the high temperature sensitivity of isoprene emission observed through whole-ecosystem flux measurements. By integrating our findings, the updated model predicted a 20% increase in isoprene emissions from the high-latitude regions in the Northern Hemisphere. We also found that the existing model had underestimated the long-term trend of isoprene emissions by 55% for high-latitude regions with Arctic warming nature.com/articles/s41467-0….

As I make my way back to the UK, I look back on the last week spent at #ASIC2024. Great to see colleagues old and new 👥, to hear about community projects on #airquality and the latest developments in #sensors and #standardisation 📊. Until next year 👋"

Come and see what chemists can do to meet the needs of society! Let's talk about the place of chemistry in the 🍩economy in this workshop! Please follow this link for EOI: rsc.org/events/detail/78783/… 🧪🚰🌳🍩#environmentaljustice #policymakers #collaboration

Thrilled to share this collaborative study led by @atmos_vf on the (still very large!) gap between marine isoprene emissions estimated with bottom-up (from ocean observations) or top down (from atmospheric observations) approaches @simolab_ @pablorros_ nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Our paper on combining observations of marine isoprene with modelling in @UkesmProject has been published in @NatureComms. Our study suggests that prior emission estimates of marine isoprene need to be scaled by at least 20x so that models can match observed concentrations. 1/n
