The University of Leeds is collaborating with institutions in Ghana to combat climate challenges and nurture the next generation of scientists. Researchers are working to improve storm prediction for Ghana's energy sector, developing and deploying new ground-based observation systems for lightning. The energy sector in Ghana will benefit from tailored warnings as it is vulnerable...
Powerful winter storms which led to deaths and power outages in the UK and Ireland were made more likely by an intense swirling vortex of winds miles above the Arctic, say scientists. A team of researchers led by the University of Leeds has pinpointed a new reason for winter storm clusters such as the trio...
The University of Leeds continues to explore the potential for geothermal energy to help decarbonise the University campus, the Yorkshire region and the wider UK. In 2024, this involved a campaign of geothermal drilling beneath campus to gather huge amounts of data on the energy potential for a geothermal system to provide heating and cooling...
