MSc students at Cranfield Aerospace recently visited for a tour of our research aircraft. Developing and operating an atmospheric research aircraft needs expertise from multiple fields and we're happy to be inspiring the next generation of engineers and scientists ✈️

On #WorldEnvironmentDay some of our members joined the UK Civil Aviation Authority Sustainability Team for a visit to the FAAM Airborne Laboratory. The theme of the day was sustainabilityand how atmospheric science can be used to reduce the environmental impact of aviation and marine activity.

Last week, we said goodbye to our Chemistry at York placement student Irene Monreal Campos after a fantastic year. She worked alongside our chemistry team, while completing her own research project with us. She's heading off to start her PhD in atmospheric chemistry!
