Multi-scale modelling of urban air pollution: development and application of MUNICH DR. KIM, Youngseob Cerea, Ecole Des Ponts, Edf R&d Dr. Youngseob Kim is a research engineer of Environmental science and technology. His research is focused on air quality modeling. He has participated in the development of air quality models to cover a large range of phenomena: regional-scale pollution and local-scale pollution, gas-phase pollutants and particulate matters, dispersion and chemical transformation .................................... o Kim, Y., Lugon, L., Maison, A., Sarica, T., Roustan, Y., Valari, M., Zhang, Y., André, M., and Sartelet, K.: MUNICH v2.0: a street-network model coupled with SSH-aerosol (v1.2) for multi-pollutant modelling, Geosci.

Anthropogenic fly ash particles: Environmental indicators of industrial combustion PROF. ROSE, Neil University College London, UK Neil Rose is Emeritus Professor of Environmental Pollution and Palaeolimnology at the Department of Geography, University College London. He started at UCL in 1987 after 2 years working for the British Antarctic Survey as a limnologist on their Signy Island base. Since completing his PhD in 1991, his research has used natural archives, especially lake sediments, to assess the spatial and temporal distributions of pollutants including fly-ash particles, trace metals, persistent organic compounds and microplastics. He has authored and co-authored over 200 scientific publications and more than 25 book chapters. Between 2008 and 2013, he led the Open Air Laboratories (OPAL) Water Centre encouraging public participation in aquatic science. Since 2018 he has been a member of the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG)...............................................................................
