The lake at my workplace, the Univ. of Reading, was frozen over recently. This was on January 6th, soon after it snowed. A mother #swan with her two #cygnets are amongst other waterfowl. #UofReading #snow #ReadingUKWeather #BritishWeather #weather @uniofreading.bsky.social @swanwatchuk.bsky.social

🌍🌫️ What happens to climate model results when we update historical aerosol data for CMIP7?
Read the #research article co-authored by Stephanie Fiedler, EXPECT researcher from @uniheidelberg.bsky.social, on SP forcing data for #CMIP7 and its first application in the model ICON XPP: bit.ly/4qUOl5x

This time, at the 2026 University of Reading Department of #Meteorology's Research Away-Day, we had a larger auditorium in the #PalmerBuilding (and hence more space) than during the same event in 2024. (click on thumbnail to see the composite photo). #ResearchAwayDay @uniofreading.bsky.social

The @uniofreading.bsky.social #Meteorology Dept's Research Away-Day is all day on Monday. I helped to organize the whole Away-Day, as well as the “Upskilling with AI/LLM tools’ breakout session there, and I’ll be speaking during the breakout session about ‘AI for #Programming’. #AI

#AGU25 travel tip - if landing at MSY, take a taxi rather than rideshare to the convention center area, it’s a flat $36 for 1-2 people and you can avoid the Uber pickup chaos.

Really proud of this paper. Over the course of a year, we sampled PM2.5 in >300 houses in Bradford. This work package was led by myself and @profrosiemc.bsky.social and involved a dedicated team of atmospheric and health researchers
