Last month, @ncas-uk.bsky.social joined hundreds of families and community members at the Rochdale Science Extravaganza 2026, helping turn 200 years of local temperature records into a collaborative climate mosaic for the local area. ncas.ac.uk/climate-mosa... #earth-science #SciComm 🧪

Climate mosaic brings science and creativity together - NCAS

During one of this summer’s UK heatwaves, we sparked conversations about climate change by combining art, science and local stories.

With prolonged hot weather, and wildfires burning across parts of Europe and North America, we explain what these events mean for the climate: #earth-science #SciComm 🧪 ncas.ac.uk/what-do-wild...

What do wildfires mean for climate change? - NCAS

Wildfires contribute to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases and other pollutants into the atmosphere, and by triggering vegetation changes.

With prolonged hot weather, and wildfires burning across the UK and Europe, what does this mean for air quality in the affected areas or places downwind? ncas.ac.uk/what-do-wild... #earth-science #SciComm 🧪

What do wildfires mean for air quality? - NCAS

Wildfires can have significant impacts on air quality, as wildfire smoke contains a mixture of hazardous air pollutants.

What does observing London’s air from the BT Tower tell us about pollution? Let's talk about it: #earth-science #SciComm 🧪

We're hiring an Atmospheric Remote Sensing Scientist. The role combines: - cloud and boundary layer observatory design - radar-science development - community-facing capability building - data-product development - research programme delivery Apply by 10 August 2026: ncas.ac.uk/job-opportun...

Job Opportunity: Atmospheric Remote Sensing Scientist - NCAS

We are looking for an Atmospheric Remote Sensing Scientist to provide research leadership for a Cloud and Boundary Layer Observatory.

ncas.ac.uk

The BT Tower Atmospheric Observatory has revealed improvements in London's air, and found emerging pollution sources such as heating and construction. Protecting the observatory as the tower turns into a hotel is essential for monitoring future air quality. Learn more: ncas.ac.uk/what-does-ob...

We're part of the @nro-group.bsky.social! NCAS is a proud member and we look forward to working with over 40 partners to strengthen the UK's research capability, scientific leadership, and long-term impact. ncas.ac.uk/new-nro-grou...

25 years, one changing atmosphere, and a community of NCAS people dedicated to understanding it. Together we've enabled 25 years of discovery, collaboration, and impact. Together, we're leading atmospheric science in a changing world - and we're only getting started. Let's celebrate together 💙

With every degree of additional warming to the Earth’s climate, the frequency and intensity of heatwaves are projected to get worse in future. Soaring temperatures also lead to conditions that allow wildfires to spread quickly and far. ncas.ac.uk/what-do-heat... #earth-science #SciComm 🧪

What do heatwaves mean for wildfires? - NCAS

Persistent high temperatures cause hot, dry conditions in which wildfires can spread.

Besides bringing risks to the environment, infrastructure, and people’s physical and mental health, heatwaves also affect the quality of the air we breathe. Let's talk about it: _ #earth-science #SciComm 🧪

Heatwaves often come hand-in-hand with poor air quality. NCAS’s @jamesallanatmos.bsky.social explains: ncas.ac.uk/what-do-heat... #earth-science #SciComm 🧪

What do heatwaves mean for air quality? - NCAS

Besides bringing risks to the environment, infrastructure, and people’s physical and mental health, heatwaves also affect air quality.

Imagine if the same weather patterns occurred in a warmer world. How different would our experience of the weather be? Would it be warmer? Would it be wetter? @ncas-uk.bsky.social climate scientists have taken an unusual approach to find out. Let's break it down: #earth-science #SciComm 🧪

What happens if you replay real weather from 1903 and “turn up the heat”? While temperatures rise across the board, the most noticeable increases occur during cold snaps and warm spells. ncas.ac.uk/turning-up-t... #earth-science #SciComm 🧪

What would 1903 weather look like today under climate change? - NCAS

Climate scientists are now replaying the past to predict the future, to show how everyday weather could feel in a warmer world.
