I am an air pollution scientist (day job) living in London, England. My personal mission is to improve Wikipedia's coverage of air pollution, atmospheric chemistry, and environmental issues that interest me, including people related to those topics. I mainly research and write new articles from scratch, including notable bios. Please feel welcome to ask me for help with air quality topics or suggest on my talk page air pollution pages that need helping.
I also write bios of notable scientists in other areas, including some of the Fellows of the Royal Society who lack them.
Articles I've created/written
edit
I have written 43 articles for the English Wikipedia. Roughly ordered by date of creation and topic, they are...
Air pollution, atmospheric science, and environment
edit
- Frank J Kelly - Air pollution scientist at King's College, London
- Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants - UK government advisors on air pollution
- Moms Clean Air Force - US activist group of > 1 million members
- Harvard Six Cities study - seminal air pollution study connecting fine particulates to higher death rates.
- London Air Quality Network - air-monitoring network in London and the South East. Maybe needs to be expanded or revised to take in the wider Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN) - separate article needed?
- Brynjulf Ottar - influential Norwegian atmospheric chemist
- Air Quality Expert Group - UK government advisers on non-health aspects of air pollution
- Clean Air Day - annual event to increase public awareness of air pollution
- John Switzer Owens - largely neglected but crucially important figure in early 20th-century air pollution science (and pioneer of new pollution measurement techniques)
- Martin Williams (environmental scientist) - air pollution scientist and policy expert
- Warren Spring Laboratory - former UK government environmental lab in Stevenage
- David Fowler (physicist) - FRS, atmospheric physicist and air pollution scientist specializing in effects on vegetation etc.
- Deposit gauge - standard air pollution measuring device from the early 20th century.
- Diffusion tube - passive pollution monitoring device used by local authorities, community groups, etc.
- John Plane - FRS, atmospheric chemist, professor at Leeds University
- Peter Marren - conservationist and nature writer, journalist, campaigner(?)
- Chris Woodford (author) - author of air pollution book.
- Air pollution measurement - created from a stub called "Air pollution sensor" (moved and hugely expanded).
- Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal - EGU's highest meterological award for distinguished work in weather, climate science, etc
- Oliver Phillips (ecologist) - FRS, tropical forestry professor at Leeds University
- John Stewart (campaigner) - environmental campaigner against noise pollution, airports, roads
- Frank E. Speizer, air pollution and respiratory epidemiologist
- Hugh Coe, atmospheric physicist/chemist, aerosol scientist at Manchester University
- Mums for Lungs - campaign group/network
- Lester Lave - visionary environmental/air pollution economist
- Peter Brimblecombe - prolific air pollution researcher and historian
- Birmingham Clean Air Zone
- Bath Clean Air Zone
Other scientific topics/people
edit
These are mostly automatically notable (per WP:NACADEMIC#3) Fellows of the Royal Society. Some are notable for other reasons (GNG or other criteria listed in WP:NACADEMIC).
- Vikram Deshpande - FRS - Cambridge materials scientist
- Peter Nellist - Oxford materials science prof, electron microscopy...
- George Jackson (chemist) - FRS, professor at Imperial College, London
- Statistical associating fluid theory - influential thermodynamic theory of fluids.
- Adam Eyre-Walker - FRS, molecular/evolutionary geneticist at University of Sussex.
- Daniel Frost (earth_scientist) - geochemist at Bayreuth
- Geoff Hall (physicist) - Imperial College particle physicist, developer of CERN LHC CMS detectors
- François Guillemot - FRS, French stem-cell neurobiologist at Francis Crick Institute
- Kevin Brindle - FRS, biochemist and MRI imaging/cancer research.
- Keith Matthews (biologist) - parasitologist, sleeping sickness etc.
- Jonathan St B. T. Evans, cognitive psychologist
- List of fellows of the Royal Society elected in 2023
- Robin Carhart-Harris - psychopharmacologist, psychedelic research.
- Tony Dickinson - FRS, comparative psychologist
- Richard Nelmes - FRS, physical crystallographer
Articles I am vaguely thinking about creating
edit
- Ken Carslaw, FRS - exists as stub but needs expanding
- Mike Pilling, CBE - air pollution chemistry
- Paul S. Monks - atmospheric chemist, UK government adviser
- Benjamin G. Ferris Jr. - Harvard School of Public Health director and original architect of the Six Cities Study (among other things)
- Mark Avery, ornithologist, writer, former RSPB conservation campaigner
- Stephen Pennycook - electron microscopy pioneer, supervisor(?) and collaborator of P.Nellist (I think).
- John Reyntiens, MBE - stained glass maker.
- Malcolm Irving, FRS, FMedSci- King's College prof, studies of muscle mechanisms.
- Peter Liss - exists as a stub, but needs expanding.
- Air pollution in .... (various countries per European template)
- Various other UK clean air zones, implemented or proposed
