Aerosol composition retrieval from a combination of three different spaceborne instruments: information content analysis Abstract. This study focuses on the information content for retrieving aerosol optical depth (AOD) and its components from satellite measurements. We utilise an optimal estimation retrieval algorithm ...

Insights into Elevated Methane Emissions from an Australian Open-Cut Coal Mine Using Two Independent Airborne Techniques Governments and industries worldwide are seeking methods to accurately estimate their methane inventories, particularly in the open-cut coal mining sector, where quantifying facility-level emissions r...

New paper on methane emissions from a large open-cast coal mine in Australia showing that emissions are 3 to 8 times higher than reported.

It is an awful situation right now. The US science community needs support and I do appreciate that not travelling to US conferences is sending the wrong signal.

Germany investigates after national with green card arrested at US border Berlin checking if US immigration policy has changed after Fabian Schmidt becomes third German to be detained

It seems that it's no longer safe to travel to USA. Guess I will skip conferences in USA in the coming years.

Evidence, if it were needed, that I work with AMAZING colleagues.

Less than 16hrs after the gavel came down on COP29, they have published a 20,000-word omnibus article summarising EVERYTHING you need to know about the two-week event in Baku
