Currently most tracked flight worldwide is AF1 probably carrying President Trump for WEF in Switzerland!

[Varun Kumar @Varun2829]

My IndiGo flight was cancelled today with zero proper communication and my checked-in luggage never came back. Hundreds stranded, families crying, people missing important commitments. This isn’t a “delay issue”, it’s a complete collapse of operations. Passengers deserve better.

Wishing you all a happy new year & a successful 2025! In April, @ChemOfClouds will be hosting a 3-day specialized Chemistry of Clouds Conference. Abstract deadline is January 8th. Come join us in #Denmark and discuss & present your latest #atmoschem research. @Chemistry_AU

Until this heatwave... Sweden 🇸🇪 and Norway 🇳🇴 had never hit > 30 °C in September. New national records have been set and by huge margin.

Extraordinary weather pattern in Europe right now.

I am running out of words to describe how absurd August 2024 was in Svalbard.

Reaching an average temperature of 11°C in August would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. This is totally bonkers.

[Varun Kumar @Varun2829]

@FabianMahrt @AarhusUni @ChemOfClouds Looking forward to it!

It’s Earth Overshoot Day: Overconsumption has exceeded planetary limits for sustainability

The top 1% are responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66% of humanity

The right to a healthy environment must come first. Polluters must pay for the full damage they cause

@royradhika7 I have been living away from home for almost 15 years now! Just be ready and learn to be alone! If you can handle that loneliness, everything else will be fine!!

[Varun Kumar @Varun2829]

It has been an absolute pleasure to be at the @SE_Htm in the Swedish countryside and work with amazing collaborators like @AdamKristensson and others at @AerosolLund. Looking forward to some nice AMS measurements this summer!

Billions of people are currently surviving in temperatures between 45 and 50C. This is "only" at a 1.5C global increase. At 2C, these regions will become unbearable for long periods of the year. The lack of a coherent plan for this is shocking. #Mitigation is urgent.

[Varun Kumar @Varun2829]

It was a pleasure to meet @FabianMahrt and have interesting discussions.
Sharing a few memories of our respective times at @PSI_LAC was an added bonus.
Looking forward to have strong collaborations in future and thanks for visiting Fabian!

@JeanEudesPetit Is it online?

[Varun Kumar @Varun2829]

@vijaypkanawade Great to meet you! Hopefully see you soon again at some point!!

[NCPOR @ncaor_goa]

Dr. Thamban Meloth, Director NCPOR, visited Station Nord in NE Greenland on an invite from Aarhus University's Villum Research Station. Guided by station head Dr. Henrik Skov, he explored the logistic facilities and labs, uncovering new opportunities for Indian #Arctic research.

[Varun Kumar @Varun2829]

@MGlasius Missed meeting you at the conference. I was there too!

[Varun Kumar @Varun2829]

@ant_dasgupta Hi Antara! It will be nice to connect with you and exchange views on different topics!

[Varun Kumar @Varun2829]

Excited to be soon travelling to Vienna for the #EGU24! Looking forward to some really interesting scientific talks and glad to be be serving as an OSPA judge! Please ping me if you are around and want to catch-up!!

@GarmashOlya Congrates Olga!

[Varun Kumar @Varun2829]

Had a great time attending the @datalystica source apportionment workshop at @iitbombay.
Catching up with old colleagues was a cherry on the cake!

[Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry (LAC) @PSI_LAC]

Had a very successful week in Mumbai 🇮🇳 during the #IASTA2023 conference and @datalystica source apportionment workshop. Happy to see all the colleagues!

Many ideas exchanged for a new year filled with exciting science and collaborations.
Here are some snap shots 📸
