We are the Climate and Atmospheric Science for Action (CASA) group in the School of Earth and Environmental Science at Cardiff University. Our research is positioned at the intersection of climate change, air pollution, health, equity, and policy.

Our group investigates how human activities, specifically those linked to the emission of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, influence atmospheric composition. Additionally, we consider how action designed to mitigate and adapt to climate change could affect health and equity.

Through integrating adjoint approaches, earth-system modeling, remote sensing, statistical and machine learning methods, and health impact assessments we conduct interdisciplinary research that motivates scientifically informed action.
