I am a lecturer in atmospheric science at the University of Leeds specialising in research into stratospheric aerosol and volcanic radiative effects.https://bsky.app/profile/grahamgmann.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/grahamgmann.bsky.social/post/3mcmbkyuyws2bThis is really amazing news. Both houses of Congress have passed a budget that rejects Trump’s proposed funding cuts, securing level funding to NASA & NOAA. https://www.planetary.org/articles/advocacy-success-fy2026-nasa-budget @planetarysociety.bsky.social @nasa-daily.bsky.social @noaa.gov @climate.noaa.gov @noaacomms.noaa.gov17 Jan 2026 09:14 +0000at://did:plc:j7cumuiplpnt46actpby7v4l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcmbkyuyws2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/grahamgmann.bsky.social/post/3mb63zcres22cSeveral NCAR scientists played key roles in @wcrpclimate.bsky.social Hunga volcano impacts report, released last week. The NCAR modelling group (Bill Randel & others) led predictions of ozone layer & climate impacts from Hunga’s volcanic aerosol & water vapour. #SaveNCAR @ncar-ral.bsky.social [contains quote post or other embedded content]30 Dec 2025 00:32 +0000at://did:plc:j7cumuiplpnt46actpby7v4l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mb63zcres22chttps://bsky.app/profile/grahamgmann.bsky.social/post/3mb5ra2ui2k2fGreat to hear a bipartisan group in congress (both Democrat & Republicans) is seeking to secure adequate funding for NCAR in the upcoming Commerce, Justice and Science (CJS) appropriations bill (deadline 31 Jan 2026). https://balancedweather.substack.com/p/bipartisan-congressional-coalition?r=5aph6q29 Dec 2025 21:19 +0000at://did:plc:j7cumuiplpnt46actpby7v4l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mb5ra2ui2k2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/grahamgmann.bsky.social/post/3mb4t6yigmc2pFully-funded volcano-climate PhD available at Univ.

The explosive energy from the VEI6 eruption was likely more than 1991 Pinatubo, on a par with 1883 Krakatau. Shallow underwater setting saw impacts from emitted sulphur & emitted water vapour.
