By examining variables such as temperature, precipitation, and humidity, along with air quality indicators, Marina and her supervisor Dr. Niamh Cahill aims to quantify observed relationships and create future projections using a Generalised Additive Model (GAM). This research utilises climate and air pollution data from various sources, including the database of the project partner e-Lichens, Met Éireann, and Copernicus. This research is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change on air quality and public health.
