SPEAKER: Dr Anja Schmidt, University of Leeds.
I will discuss long-range transport and air quality impacts of sulphur dioxide emitted by the 2014-2015 eruption at Holuhraun (Bárðarbunga volcano, Iceland). Using a global aerosol microphysics model I show that such an eruption could have the potential to substantially degrade air quality and affect human health in Europe.
Registration is not required.
-------------------
The meeting will be held in the Institute of Geography, University of Edinburgh, Drummond Street, EH8 9XP, starting at 6 pm, with tea and biscuits available from 5:30 pm. Please mention this meeting to friends and colleagues, since non-members of the Society are very welcome at our meetings. There is no charge and no need to book in advance.
