Measurements reveal the impact of air pollution on climate and health in southern Asia

Researchers from Stockholm University are involved in the operation of two strategically placed measurement stations in the Maldives and Bangladesh, which capture air pollutants that affect people’s health and the climate. These pollutants come from diverse sources across the Indian subcontinent, which the research is seeking to pinpoint.

ARTofMELT2023 expedition will study the arrival of summer in the Arctic

The fast-changing Arctic climate is determined by a balance between heat imported from the south, most of it in the atmosphere, and energy lost to space by radiation at the top of the Arctic atmosphere. In May the expedition ARTofMELT2023 (Atmospheric Rivers and the Onset of Sea Ice Melt 2023), led by researchers from Stockholm University, is embarking on a research expedition to the central Arctic Ocean. The aim is to gather unique observations of the processes that govern the transition from winter to summer in the high Arctic. The time when the Arctic ice starts melting.

Map of the target area for the expedition ARTofMELT Oden is placed north east of Greenland.
