The Network
The network was coordinated by Dr Stefan Reis, who was ample experience of coordinating and managing large research projects and is currently involved in a range of projects addressing human and ecosystem health effects of air pollution and climate change.
For the key areas of the network, measurements, modelling and effects, the following topic leaders will act as focal points and foster communication within the network, as well as contribute to the workshop organisation:
- Atmospheric measurements – Professor Neil Cape and Dr Mhairi Coyle
- Atmospheric modelling – Dr Massimo Vieno
- Human health effects – Dr Stefan Reis
- Vegetation effects – Dr Harry Harmens and Dr Gina Mills
