Forever amazed at the quantity and quality of satellite data that's available, free of charge. Below is a series of animations I made showing key climate and atmospheric variables observed from various satellites @tropomi @ESA_EO @NASAEarth @NASA @NCEOscience @SpaceParkLeic

Check this out if you're a Chinese citizen and want to come and do a PhD with us :-) We specialise in space research, both looking out at the universe and looking back towards out own planet to better understand climate change. If you're interested in climate, get in touch :-)

When you hear about #wildfires in the #Amazon its sometimes hard to truly appreciate the scale. This animation shows smoke from these record-breaking fires consuming most of the region, a disaster for both health and the environment🛰️🔥 Made with @sentinel_hub & @NOAASatellites

Having a great time at the #UKEO2024 conference in York. I had the opportunity to present work from my PhD, where we looked into the barriers and pathways to implementing satellite data into air quality regulation. Link to study: doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.202…

Yesterday I passed my PhD Viva with minor corrections! 3.5 years of work and 3.5 hours of viva later 🥂 Massive thanks to my supervisors @JoshVandeHey, Emma Ferranti, Roger Timmis and @DrHarjSembhi for all the support, and I'm excited to continue working together!

The final chapter of my Ph.D. is published! We show how the soil moisture vs. soil NOx relationship can help explain NO2 variability over Central U.S. cropland, with implications for rural to urban AQ. Check out our publication at JGR: Atmospheres 👉 doi.org/10.1029/2024JD041015

Blink and you'll miss it! On 18 May, a meteor burned up in the night sky over Spain and Portugal – it was also caught by the Lightning Imager on the Meteosat Third Generation Imager satellite far away in geostationary orbit. Credits: @esa / @eumetsat

Well worth the excursion to a random field in Leicestershire with the camera 😯 #Auroraborealis #NorthernLightsuk

The "Door to hell", a gas-filled pit that's been burning for 50 years, as seen by #Sentinel2 using a SWIR overlay to identify active burning 🔥🛰️ Processed with @sentinel_hub using a modified version of @Pierre_Markuse script, data from @CopernicusEU @ESA_EO

In 1971, engineers from the Soviet Union ignited a fire in a gas-filled hole in the Turkmenistan desert. Anticipating that the flames would extinguish within days, they were surprised when the fire continued to burn. Now, 52 years later, this site, known as “The Door to Hell,” is still ablaze.

Every winter, the Po Valley in Northern Italy experiences poor #AirQuality as temperature inversions trap pollutants against the mountains, such as Nitrogen Dioxide shown here. @tropomi @CopernicusEU @ESA_EO

It’s been 24 hours since the new EPA PM2.5 (air quality / particulate matter) standard, so that’s enough time to pass for a few hot takes. The new standard is a net positive for sure, but several important nuances to be aware of… Mega-thread! 🧵 1/

This is a really good paper (biased but still...) Quantifies health benefits of geostationary (and polar-orbiting) satellite data. More data, especially in near-real-time, can allow the public to make living-saving decisions to the tune of $13 billion and that's an underestimate.

[New @AguGeohealth] O’Dell @K8ODell @SusanAnenberg @GWpublichealth et al. identified 60% more person-alerts (people x PM2.5 alerts) with geostationary satellite data than polar-orbiting satellites, potentially averting 1,200 deaths & saving $13 billion. 👉doi.org/10.1029/2023GH000890

Relieved to see the #flooding from new years day has retreated around my office at @SpaceParkLeic and the neighbouring Ellis Meadows, though it was nice to have a brief lakeside view 🚣‍♂️ Data from @planet's high resolution SuperDove satellites, for 26th Dec - 1st Jan - 9th Jan.
