research, Laura co-supervises a PhD student, Marcel Meyer, in the Department of Plant Sciences at Cambridge University who is researching the spread of wheat rust diseases in East Africa. Career background From October 2006 to April 2016 Laura worked as part of the Atmospheric Dispersion and Air Quality
. To develop and improve NAME. Current projects MPI parallelisation of NAME. Improvements to the representation of effects of urban environments on dispersing plumes within NAME. Modelling of volcanic umbrella clouds within NAME. Ongoing validation of NAME against tracer experiments. Scientific collaboration and developments with a number of UK universities (e.g. Reading, Imperial College, Cambridge). Research on concentration fluctuations and buoyancy-driven flows.
this and all the weather details in the week ahead forecast 👇 pic.twitter.com/3q7ovcxAsq — Met Office (@metoffice) August 12, 2024 Monday provisionally saw the highest temperature of the year so far, with 34.8°C reached in Cambridge. This is the highest temperature recorded in the UK since 13 August 2022
and use of probabilistic dispersion forecasts. This involves quantifying the source, meteorological and impact uncertainties. Scientific collaboration and developments with a number of agencies (e.g. Public Health England) and UK universities (e.g., Reading, Bristol, Leeds and Cambridge). We are partners in the EUROVOLC project which aims to promote an integrated and harmonized European volcanological community.
