If you are interested in innovative ways to mitigate secondary organic aerosol pollutants, check this out! We show that photocatalyst can efficiently suppress SOA formation and remove SOA directly from its surface or proximity.

We are receuiting! We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated postdoc and PhD student to work with us in CERTAINTY_ACI project. For more details check these links: uef.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo… uef.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

The seminar days of Climate change, Ecosystema and Health -Research Community of University of Eastern Finland started with a Musical Keynote. What a nice start! I’m looking forward to all the excellent presentations and inspiring workshops & discussions.

In this new paper by Snehitha Kommula we show that vegetation fires from southern Europe enhance CCN number in northern Europe and the high Arctic and that liquid clouds show strong response to fire aerosol both in in situ and satellite observations. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Once more: BoFF campaign!! This was a great effort from our group: organizing a fully equipped measurement station deep in the forest (no electricity, tiny forest roads) with challenging safety actions was not easy. But we did it! Stay tuned, data is great!

Excited to share that my first PhD paper is now published 🤩Huge thanks to my awesome supervisors hk Thomas Kühn Annele Virtanen and all my co-authors! This study highlights how uncertainties in the volatility distribution of organics impact SOA mass, CCN and forcing!

Multidisciplinary collaboration can lead to exciting scientific results! In our oven fresh Science paper we reveal a new BSOA intermediated plant-plant interaction mechanism. The study was led by James Blande. University of Eastern Finland Atmosphere and Climate Competence Center (ACCC) Read more here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The lungs of the #Earth are being choked 🌍 #AmazonRainforest #Climate #fires in 2024 are worse than ever, with cumulative carbon emissions at 183 MtC, surpassing the record. September alone accounts for 65 MtC, largely from #Amazonas and #MatoGrosso do Sul. #ClimateCrisis

We must dare to be honest to everyone & say what it really means. Even under ENSO-neutral conditions, global mean SST continues to rise at an alarming rate. This has a direct & serious impact on the warming of the Northern Hemisphere: +2.04°C (vs 1850-1900)!!! COP29 Azerbaijan UN Climate Change

Some autumn vibes with Aerosol Physics Group University of Eastern Finland. First some lingonberry and mushroom picking, then enjoying the autumn scene from the view tower and campfire & goodies at the end. A perfect afternoon!

This is a nightmare. What will happen to climate action and green energy transition and to Ukraine? I hope that some miracle would happen and US senate and congress would wake up and prevent the worst scenarios. Not high changes, i guess.

I spent the past three days in Beijing doing back-to-back meetings and presentations with people working on energy and climate. The U.S. election outcome came up often, obviously, with questions about the implications for different countries, sectors, policies and negotiations.

I’m planning to leave X, but where to go instead? I activated an account in Bluesky, but not too many colleagues there. Where to go? LinkedIn?

I have nothing to add. Why so many people in US don’t see what is going on??? m.youtube.com/watch?v=rKBM2k…
