Water vapour is increasing with and amplifying warming as expected: doi.org/10.1029/2022...
This is intensifying the global water cycle and swings between wet & dry extremes which will only accelerate without rapid and massive cuts in greenhouse gases

See below for details of Leicester's Physics & Astronomy PhD applications process this year. I'm hoping to recruit a new student to work on protoplanetary discs, and my colleagues are offering a range of fascinating projects as well. 🔭
Calling all prospective #PhD candidates - the School of Physics and Astronomy at #Leicester has a host of fully-funded PhD places for a September 2025 start. Follow the link to the College of Science and Engineering to apply:
